Interruptions

Come here, I've got to show you something. Dring. Oh, the meeting starts in one minute. Look, news. I sent you an emails. Can we discuss this over lunch? Tap on your shoulder. Knock on your door. Instant message. Random cell attack. Are you there, where are you, can I talk to you?

Managing means interrupting. Managers are the problem. Working means investing long time spans working. Interruptions entail no work. Work places are interruption places. Hence the generalized impossibility to work at work.

When was your last true emergency? Mine was a false alarm.
