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

Either I can order them and you can throw money at me. Or you can order them and I can throw money at you. :-D

Ordered through Amazon - found cheaper tea lights, but in metal cups - hope that's ok -half the cost. 100 tea lights and 72 votives came to $46. I'll split it with you.
Also nosed around for water heaters - the tankless portable water heater is generally not on sale anywhere that I found.

FYI - Votives came in today - Mildly dissappointed. Good scent, but they are not nice chunky votives that I'm used to al la Yankee Candle - more like overgrown tea lights.

water heater like Clan has:

right - they are all generally about that price - no deals to be had (all between $113-$125.)
