=====================================
I was raised in a fairly orderly household. I have 3 brothers. If I'm
interested in what I'm doing, you could drop a bomb next to me and I
wouldn't notice. If I'm not interested, then a workplace where lots of
things are happening would be a distraction.

P.S. Good music, terrific views, and an exchange of information are *not*
distracting.
