Re: Asking a question: a controdiction?

Of course, any "Do Not Disturb" message is irrelevant if the people you 
are working with choose not to obey it. While working to a particularly 
nasty deadline, I was head-down 100% concentrating on the writing and 
people kept interrupting me no matter how many ways I tried to express 
that I didn't want to be bothered. The kicker was when one fellow walked 
over the traffic cones, ducked under the bright red barrier tape, 
ignored that I had noise-canceling headphones on, and tapped me on the 
shoulder to ask if I had gotten his e-mail. I dare not repeat my 
response to him, but let's just say my years as a sailor gave me a broad 
choice of words.

I finally had to resort to working the midnight shift until that 
deadline, because that left me the only person in the building.
