it's oh so quiet
Man alive I am getting in a worse and worse mood this week. I've been stuck at the computer reviewing and sorting and generally piecing together all my data but I feel like I'm also going totally mad. I've hardly spoken to anyone at all this week. My office is hardly social central but I think I'm losing it today as I'm not speaking, just stuck listening to an officemate who has been wittering on at people on the phone all bleeding day. Can't he see I'm trying to concentrate and get some work done. And even worse, I find his voice sooooo grating and annoying. Argh. Still it's almost friday and then the weekend where hopefully I might get a bit more conversation and human contact. And then maybe next week I can do a few more experiments in the lab and chat to people over there.

Can you get away with sticking a bit of music on the computer, and use headphones to distract yourself from whatever else is going on? I listen to stuff all day long, except when I have people come to my desk with questions or problems for me to help them with - it works well for me, and helps me concentrate as I listen mostly to stuff that's hugely familiar so it just burbles away in the background.
Good luck with getting through your data in any case.

I got through all the data and now I'm doing a bit of fiddling and pimping to put it into a presentation tomorrow. I do indeed have headphones and last fm loaded on my computer, but sometimes old fashioned peace and quiet would be very appreciated.
