Profession: Software "Engineer"<p>[06:15] First alarm goes off;<p>[06:45] Finally wake up, get out of bed, shower, shave, make espresso for me and the wife<p>[07:15] out the door, 30 minute commute to office<p>[07:45] breakfast bagel at my work cafe<p>[08:00] arrive at desk, begin contemplating work -- work on something I procrastinated on the previous day so that I can have a good standup report<p>[9:00] everyone arrives at office, noise increases 10x, I am physically unable to concentrate anymore. Earplugs and noise-deadening headphones help some, but then having those on distracts me<p>[10:00 til 05:45 or 6:30 pm] Constant battling distractions, meetings, interruptions, and general work-related chaos, trying to somehow manage to squeeze in any actual developer work. Work proclaims how 'fun it is to work here! awesome! totes cool! We have so much cool stuff! Our culture is the best culture!'<p>Help me.
