Yep - headphones.



I sit in an alcove between two executive offices  - the alcove is divided into 2 cubical type offices.  My coworker in the other cube talks very loudly and constantly.  It drives me crazy - I have been known to beat my forehead against my desktop if sitting or against my overhead cabinets if standing, just because she never shuts up.  I hear every word of her phone calls and other conversations, which are the worst because once she gets started on a subject, she just goes on and on and on.



One day recently my boss was standing in front of my desk signing papers while she was nattering on and on about something.  He grabbed a note pad off my desk, wrote briefly, and then turned the pad around where I could see it.  It said "we have got to get you moved".  



I just cracked up - it helped actually because knowing he understood the situation made me feel at least I wasn't alone.
