Interruptions

Many would think the opposite of me, but I do not like to be interrupted. Of course I know that I do my fair share of interrupting other people, but that is another matter entirely. It is great, for me, to be heads-down on a project or thought for an extended period of time. When I am interrupted I have a tendency to take a really long time getting back to what I was doing before the interruption. A really long time. Too long.

I would like to think that this perturbation (that's a word, right?) has its origin in a close examination of my personality and the fact that it will take me longer to accomplish what I set out to do. In reality I am sure it has more to do with my bent on doing what I want when I want to do it. If my motives were more towards the former I would have more of an issue interrupting other people. I don't have an issue with that at all.

Again the "heck to live with" preceded by the phrase "I must be" is brought to my mind.
