Those are some good tips on procuring "space!" But what about when office politics dictate that it doesn't go over well to keep to oneself a lot, or never participate in the occasional planned events? Other than not taking that job, how do you handle that?
I can have a hard time re-focusing after I stop something or am interrupted, so aside from anything else, that's another reason I'm often better off keeping to myself as much as possible. But I know that meeting a certain level of socializing can matter a lot in just about any kind of office. Pretty funny to think of being an employee who is *told* to goof off a little sometimes, huh?
I'm glad to hear some people talk about this -- most people are so easy-going here that I often imagine them being the same with everyone in real life too, and never being bothered by such things! ;- )
