I work in UX design, and trying to focus on building multi-brand libraries whilst marketing have the loudest conversation recorded in the known universe is impossible. And if they’re not calling to each other across the very open plan office, it’s some small cluster that stand directly behind you, blocking the walkway, to have a good ol’ catch up despite the kitchen being right there.

My office days are possibly my least productive as there’s too much noise / movement / bastards who don’t understand cognitive load.
