I work in an open area with glass cubes. It's very difficult to concentrate. Everyone is on phones. I have speaker crappy music. I have a person in front of me bobbing their head all day. Very distracting. I enjoy the guys I work with they all sit their own room. I initially had a crappy chair with no arms at the end of day programming my wrists hurt. I made it clear to my boss that it sucks. The positive is its close to my home. 5 min commute. 1. Put up with until they let me go. 2. Find a new job. 3. Put a bag over my head and monitors I am leaning to finding another place to work. Any suggestions ? ? ? UPDATE : Had enough and quit. Need the work, but much happier !!! Best thing I have done in a while.

I sympathize with you. I'm a (very) quiet developer and require a quiet environment in which to work. Unfortunately, my environment is pretty noisy, but thankfully it's work noise, not music or social banter. Still, it makes it impossible for me to work. So I resorted to playing an endless pink noise (sound of the surf) loop through headphones, which works remarkably well. It doesn't cause listening fatigue and eliminates most of the ambient noise. I can make it available to you if you like. /ravi

I can make you a recording of random loud gunfire next time I go to the range, if you like. I've heard some people find random noise relaxing to hear...
