I like silence when working too. I used to always sit and work with headphones on and the like but I don't think I could do that now

Many many of my co-workers do this, my brain is not wired up to take it in and concentrate. If there's a TV on in a room where I am concentrating.., I could not tell you what was on. My mind blocks it out, so the headphones would be useless.

I have been known to put my big giant ones on in work so I look unavailable for casual convo. Lol.

No more alas as I spend most of the day in calls talking shit to shit folk
