Repurpose Inês' Bose QC35 Headphones 🎧

[nelsonic]

@iteles since 👶 you haven't been able to use the Noise Cancelling (over ear) headphones 🎧 as (you say) they make you feel sick. 🤒😢

I lent my set to David and he has used them while doing work around the house/garden. Sadly the ones I lent him are falling apart. 💔
But he still uses them to listen to AudioBooks & Podcasts because he doesn't have any others ...

I (still #147) feel like wireless headphones are a must for all team members. So was thinking we could re-purpose yours, which are near-mint condition as a "thank you gift) for David which he can use for however long he is still with us and keep when he moves on.

The current market price for the newer version (yours are V1; but visually indistinguishable from V2) is €90:

Yes, this is an "expensive" gift... 🎁 💰 but it shows our appreciation for the effort he makes. 💭
He is doing the work that I would have to do (or recruit & train someone to do...) so I think it's a no-brainer to say "thanks"! 🙏

@iteles if you're on-board just drop an "aye" in this thread. 🧵🙏
And if you happen to know where they are in the attic, great! Otherwise I will locate them. 🕵️‍♂️🔍⏳

I think there is a conversation to be had first:
A) How long is he planning on staying? It could be a week.
B) A review of work hours/rules so that there is no friction/frustration in the working relationship as it will only be aggravated with a gift that is naturally taken as a 'keep doing what you're doing'.
C) A Small list of tasks to do when he doesn't have a clear task from you, like the magic eraser for the walls.

I have been organizing in a separate part of the attic and will look for these.
