"Jim,\r\nThanks for the awesome link to SurLaLune (AND for answering questions AND for that survey you did AND for what you are doing for rape crisis).\r\n\r\nZollmaniac,\r\nIt may sound silly, but try wearing earbuds (the noise-cancelling kind). There is some sort of lunch hour / coffee break zone people don't mind entering if you are reading, at your computer etc... but if they have to tap you on the shoulder / shout really loud, they will eventually feel uncomfortable approaching you when they're in (the earbuds). It works in the office I'm in, anyway. Perhaps my office-mates are shy. Maybe its passive-aggressive, maybe its much needed writing time."
