Is it just me or its hard to focus on
 

a home environment where someone is ringing the doorbell every 45 minutes + phone calls?


am I just weak minded or this is just a crazy work environment to focus on being a webmaster?

tell your mom upstairs to chill out :1orglaugh

I though people coming to homes is relic of old times ? :1orglaugh

You are not doing it right. The only people calling are informing me that my auto extended warranty is about to expire.

If it's your own home, that's on you.

There were times when a delivery guy was outside honking his bike horn every 30 seconds to deliver to my neighbor's lunch and I wanted to kill everyone involved.

Get a guard dog to chase away visitors and turn off the ringer. Problem solved.

:1orglaugh In either case: just cut the cord!

You have no friends?

What a weird thread.

Yes apart mistresses and debt collectors. :2 cents:

well if it's him def answer the door. gotta have fun sometimes :upsidedow


assuming this is a legit OP (like Fuze I find it kinda odd) for real set some boundaries. not inhospitable to ask some to call or whatsapp before coming by. I love my friends but everyone knows to notify me if they want to stop by. then I get the opportunity to say yea or nay

I'd consider it rude to drop by someone's home unannounced. if they're out in their front yard diff story. same with me. even the maintenance dude at my new place who's a friend whatsapp'ed me before coming over to fix a wonky tap; is 4pm on Monday good for you? yeps it was cuz I had notice. I put on actual clothes before he arrived (I hate laundry so the less I wear 'round the house the better)

as to your phone? turn off the ringer when you're busy. my phone gathers dust I ignore it so, hence the whatsapp utility I have on my comp that I frequently ignore as well

one of my fav places to hang out when I don't feel like going out is right cross the street. kind of a stall with a few chairs out front and he serves food and drink though I don't partake. his weed is wicked tho and chill peeps who don't hit on me and like lively convo congregate there. I know where he lives: right behind the place. hell would freeze over before I knocked at his door impromptu. same with me as he knows where I live but does not intrude 'pon my personal space and odd hours of work

without boundaries we are slaves to our machines and peeps with no sense of decorum

think of it as the modern and more enlightened version of 'good fences make good neighbors'

Strange most people around me don't have a home phone instead it's their cellular phone is the main number. Now - why would anyone be knocking on your door unless you are expecting a delivery? I am assuming you live in an apartment or condo - but even then - there shouldn't be that much traffic at your front door.

Maybe just put some headphones on and drown it out because I can't figure out why you'd be that busy unless someone in your family is running a brothel or massage parlor.

i mean,

im i the only ONE here who can't concentrate under these circumstances or would you guys ALSO not be able to concentrate?

peace can be yours for as little as $16.99 :thumbsup

The rest of us train the people in our lives to respect the schedule or bad things will happen =)

Just because I am home doesn't mean you can pop by. Usually, my husband intercepts and tells them I'm in a meeting if I am truly busy. Whew.
