Voice over the speaker

Rockstar JavaScript Software Engineer #2293 You have forgotten the cover sheet to your TPS report. A company message was sent by the corporate friendly bot on Friday regarding including cover sheets on the TPS report. We have contacted the corporate friendly bot to email you a new copy of the email. If you fail to place your cover sheet on further TPS reports this will be noted. This has been an automate message from the compliance and reporting bot Carl. We value you as an employee, you are the life blood of Initech!

I used to work in an office where there were speakers in the ceiling. The company used them, too. "Call for Mr. Gibber on line 10, call for ..." all day long. ALL DAY LONG while you're trying to concentrate on writing code.

Funny how the speakers always seemed to be failing in the engineering areas. Simply cannot imagine why :-)

Your comment makes me wonder why and how I can even do that! Read text in another voice, of my choice no less.
