The Weight of Silence

My office is so quiet you can hear a pin drop.  Sometimes I wonder how I am going to make it through the day in such silence.  But then I realize, I dislike it just as much when there's noise.  There's never friendly chatter, voices that you can hear smiles in, or laughter.  It's only angered tones or complete silence.  Given those choices, I'm going to choose silence.....every time.
