# distracting

i work in an open office. that means there are 30 people in the same room trying to work. and between 1 and 5 conversations happening at once. i cannot work if i hear people talking, this is a constant problem. loud music helps some but makes me more tired too.
today i brought a bearing, i like to fidget with something while i think.
as soon as i spun the bearing, the two people having a conversation next to me that i was trying to ignore just stared at me then said "sorry but that's really distracting". how is that more distracting than people talking everywhere all the time? how can i be the only one struggling with this here?

i refuse to believe that anyone likes open offices. they just suck. bosses just choose it because it is cheaper and the status quo.
