If I don't have Steve with me one day, everyone asks where he is like he's an actual worker.

I've been in church with a newborn behind me feeding and that sound was very distracting and kind of gross. So I get it's distracting in a work situation, but can't you just put on some headphones and listen to an audiobook or maybe the Hydraulic Press channel on YouTube? If I don't want to listen to something at work, headphones go on.
