Ugh open floor plan office style bummin' me out

[glatt]

I've been in this shared office of four for two weeks at this point.

I can say, without hesitation, that I"m interrupted far more often than I was. People stop by to chat with us, and we chat with one another. It goes in fits and spurts, but the natural flow of things is that when you are pushing through a short project, and you get through, then you want to relax a little and chat for a while. But maybe the other person isn't at the same point in their work flow. No matter! They can just pause what they are doing and be social for a while. And of course, the reverse is true too. You can pause and chat politely too, even if you are in the middle of something.

We've been focused a lot on punch list items related to moving in to the space in general. Not just this office, but other rooms. So I don't have a sense of how well the normal business is getting done because we are already distracted by that.

Here's a selfie while my cow orkers are focused.

Could be much worse. Nobody can see what's on my computer screen. And I went from a single 19 inch monitor to dual 22 inch ones.
