Sometimes it’s hard to tell unless they have on those large headphones that drape over the head.

Omg I remember putting on my overear Beats and sitting FACING A WINDOW trying to prep my annual review back when I was still in corporate. EVERYONE kept coming over to me. Like, how can my body language be more clear? BUSY. GO AWAY.

But you are at work, no?

Normalize knowing that you’re at work to work, so if someone needs you for something, do your job lol

100% guarantee you’ll also complain about people pinging you. Like CS1 said, you’re at work man. Don’t waste my time too because I have to wait for you to ping me back when you’re 10 feet away

People at work have to learn they have to speak to other people (colleagues, bosses, clients). That's why it's called work.

We are there for 8 hours of course there’s time to speak with other people , there’s also time to let people do some deep work if they want to. Sometimes people are more chatty than they are actually working.

Or at the gym^. The level of interruptions for people clearly not wanting to be interrupted is crazy these days.

I’m currently in a 1BR for $2400. Am I crazy to pay $3k for a studio in a much nicer building in the same area? My current building is trash and I realized having an updated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room would be really nice, but not sure if it’s worth the price tag vs finding another place at $2500ish. I’ll be local for the foreseeable future even post-COVID

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!
