Do unto others as you would have them do unto you....

Make yourself a poster on a stick with a picture of an egg-timer on it. Every time this guy speaks to you just hold up the "busy, please wait" icon.
Was thinking maybe we need hats with lights like taxis have...if the light isn't on it means you can can't ride.

Do you have "that guy" at work? You know the one....I've hauled myself into work ready to start another day of mind-aching architecting, refactoring and general hardcore programming s**t. Just like making love to a beautiful woman you can't go from zero to hero in an instant...it takes time, she needs to be warmed up, eased into. I like to grab myself a coffee and maybe a snack, read some on-line news, check my email, see what wacky antics Dilbert is up to...suitably relaxed I'll get the latest code base, look at my "to do" lists, read yesterday's hand over notes to myself and now I can finally start changing the world one line of code at a time. But no....there's always that one ****ing guy. I get into work, pull my seat out; "Oh hai, can I just grab you....I'm trying to run this code but I'm getting something about string not being recognised as a valid date time format...so I add a tryparse and now I'm getting a null object reference". Seriously? It's really annoying that you're asking me this c**p before I've even had a coffee but CAN I AT LEAST SIT DOWN???!!! TURN MY MACHINE ON??? Who does that? Who jumps on someone literally the second they get into work without giving them any time to themselves whatsoever? Are they machines and expect others to be machines also? It's always the same guy that doesn't realise that when I have a ham sandwich in my mouth....it means I don't want to discuss your null model issues at this exact moment in time.
A couple of years ago on my first day back from a couple of weeks holiday I was half out of my car in the car park when the first person started asking me about a problem they'd been having.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I don't see the problem. If you're in the office you're paid to be there so you shouldn't complain about having to work. Of course since it doesn't bother me when people ask questions any time of the day, it's hard for me to agree with you.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah but he (that is me) got in an hour ago and has been struggling with the problem for the last 40 minutes, you walk in , fair game. Costs nothing to tell him to sod off till you have got your coffee!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Do you really do this? :omg:
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.
Yep :) Nothing major or formal, but if I'm in the middle of something I'll just leave a Notepad on my screen with the tasks I need to finish off along with any notes that are in my head. It's not just for organising and ensuring I don't forget things, but it's psychological as well...let's you just sign that day's off and helps you not take it home with you.

If you've already waited 40 minutes, you can wait a few minutes more :)
