bktheirregularNeighboring office is only separated from mine by a glass door which does zero for soundproofing. And for the past week and a half, it's sounded like there was constant conversation in there, veering between a kaffeeklatsch and an ongoing argument - a loud one.
Monday, I decided enough was enough. Tuesday, I brought in a set of noise-cancelling headphones (I'd forgot to tuck them into my briefcase Monday morning).
This week, I've had stuff thrown at me with no regard for my ability to solve, or for the necessary time investment, or for the priority of whatever else is on my desk.
Today, I pulled down my headphones at one point to engage in a conversation, and when the time came to put the phones back on my ears, to drown out the babble that was distracting me from the stuff pressing on me ... the phones snapped in half right at the center hinge.
Ever have just One Of Those Days?
