The victim LMAO. My new phone (Samsung GT C3212 Dual SIM) has dat function. Absent mindedly click on a button four times and it begins to ring on it’s own. It’s called the Fake call function

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way. I also work in an IT environment where I develop internal web applications for the company’s needs. I absolutely hate it when I get interrupted! I lose my train of thought and I feel it actually takes me a few steps backwards.

And for me, the end of the day is actually considered an interruption! Whenever possible, I like to finish the current task. If I decide to start and pick up where I left off the next morning, I find myself (again) trying to remember what I was doing. I’ve been suggested by others to write down where I left off, but it simply isn’t the same!

Thanks!

Very nice! I wish my phone had an external button so I could do that. In fact, I used to work in an office where the guys and I had an agreement – when Talking Guy came by and overstayed his welcome, one of us would call the “victim” on his/her cell phone so Talking Guy would move on.

Amazing blog. It’s as though the story of life is being laid out here for everyone to see.
lol.

My own way of getting people off my back is to casually play my phone’s ring tome without them noticing. The phone seems to ring, I answer it, act surprised and then
excuse myself to go complete the conversation in a private place.

Unfortunately some buggers don’t get the message and would even escort you to the loo to take a piss so they can continue rambling. Aaargh!

I find it quite difficult to handle those who have nothing to do and constantly interrupt one’s work day. However, I smile and say: I am busy right now, would you mind if we get together a little later or discuss this off line after office hours? 9 times out of 10 it works well with others.

It is important to be confident and yet polite when asking others not to interrupt us. In particular if we work in a fast paced or time sensitive environment.

That’s right – we have to be conscious of protecting our time – not let it dribble away.

This is true. Well, we really can’t totally wipe out interruptions at work, in school, or anywhere. They are like almost everywhere. But we can avoid them and not make them the reason for us not to finish our task. Let’s just focus on the more important things that and not let any interruption overtake us.

Hi Uttoran – exactly. It’s hard enough to get all of our work done without people tripping us up and wasting our time. Thanks for your comment – and please come back to Introvert Zone soon!
