> Wearing noise cancelling headphones is an accepted sign of “in the flow, pls don’t interrupt”
Well, someone could always say, sorry I thought those were just regular headphones. :)
Anyway, my philosophy is that I'm being paid by my employer not only to do work, but to help others do their job as well. I WANT to be the person that my co-workers are comfortable walking up to and asking questions even if I am in the middle of something. (Because I'm ALWAYS in the middle of something anyway.) It doesn't take many interactions like this before they start to associate you with the word "indispensable." Which is a good for job security and peer testimonials. And of course making friends.
