Superbay Entrance Exam

[davidn]

We're moving offices once again, but this time it's going to be a much more pleasant experience than last time, having only a couple of books, monitors and other bits and pieces to move down with us instead of years' worth of accumulated miscellany, and it's only down one floor. If anyone else is after a couple of desks in an open-plan office space around other companies, here are the apparent requirements to get in:

Tick all that apply:

I talk:

[ ] Constantly
[ ] Incessantly
[ ] Ceaselessly
[ ] All the time

My personal volume level can best be described as:

[ ] Loud
[ ] Very loud
[ ] Obnoxiously loud
[ ] Billy Mays

My ringtone is:

[ ] Awful
[ ] Irritating
[ ] Excruciating
[ ] Fatal

1 tick or more: Congratulations! You're in.

My ringtone is the first 28 seconds of this. The...I'm not even sure what instrument that is, but the opening something riff before the lyrics start is just close enough to gentle and unobtrusive to hopefully not inspire murder in those around me, and the lyrics are just too perfect for an incoming phone call for me to possibly resist.

Do you think they would take my officemate? It sounds like he would fit in well.

I'll probably regret asking, but what is the symbolism of the icon you used for this post? I've been trying to apply all of my cryptic crossword skills to the thistle-bee-spade conundrum, but I'm getting nothing. Is it a reference to something?
