Yeah, like anything else you need to examine your needs. I'm a transplant; I work on a tiny isolated team, in a sea of a much larger unrelated team. I know what I need to work on and can largely do it in isolation. But I'm constantly distracted by the people around me with discussions that could never possibly have anything to contribute to my work, nor I theirs. And that's when they're discussing work issues. The inane personal conversations are the worst.
