How do you feel about coworkers asking you questions?
The Engineering mind is back with another one. "How do you feel about coworkers asking you questions?"
He writes:
Yes, you're welcome to ask me whatever you like, but keep in mind that I will hate you. Forever.

It takes 20 minutes to begin concentrating yet the typical workplace has an interruption every 3 minutes. No wonder we can't seem to get any work done at work. My suggestion: the closed door policy. Whenever you need to think, close the door. And scowl--at anyone who isn't your boss--when someone bothers you anyway. Or do what so many others do: work at home when you need to think.
Don't be the guy that interrupts everyone when they're trying to get real work done.
