Makes sense -- I've probably been guilty of interrupting others, though it's rarely bothered me. Anyway, private offices are lonely.

- JabavuAdams 18y agoI work in an open-concept room of half-height cubicles where the mean time between interruptions is something like 10 minutes. We've got developers, artists, and some loud phone-users in the same room. Some of the developers yell at artists across the room to make requests. Anytime anyone in the room looks at a cool video, or something, a crowd congregates around their desk, and the noise level goes even higher. To a manager, it looks like the room is abuzz with activity. To the creators whose jobs require concentration, it's hellacious.
