I am absolutely convinced that work is giving me ADD.
I can't do anything for more than 10 minutes without be interrupted. Phone call, email, someone shouting over the cube wall at me.
You ask "But, K., you work for a place that makes nifty noise-cancelling headphones."
In fact I do. They are pretty cool even. But if you are perceived as ignoring people, it is negative. And they just yell louder. Even our cool technology can't negate an angry Brazillion woamn standing about 3' from your ear.
I have found myself sitting here on the edge of my seat, anticipating being interrupted. And when I'm not, I find I have to interrupt myself. There's a call to be made, email to be checked, something else that must be done. Settling down to get actual work done, (not the reactionary putting out fires crap), doesn't start to gear up until about 3 - when everyone else starts leaving.
It's like a short in my brain wiring.
It's wicked effing annoying.
There's a group of us here. We come in a little later because we know we are going to wind up staying late no matter what we do. We've dubbed ourselves the "Supper Club", and we all agree that the most productive hours are between 4 and 7 pm. After that we're just too tired to make decent decisions.
Now that I've sufficiently distracted by penning (typing) this, I suppose I should go get some real work done

Come in at 7 and leave at 4. I find the hours between 7 and 10 AM to be VERY productive. Mostly because the office doesn't start to get busy until 10, and the central coast folks aren't calling to talk my ear off.

And probably involve a 2 hour lunch break. ;)
