I NEED one of these*. Your own personal "cloud", that you can crawl into for a nap or to get away. I think one of the reasons I don't get as much done in my office is that I keep the door open (office hours) and I have the psychological sense that "if I let myself really concentrate on something, someone is going to sneak up on me". It doesn't help that my back faces the door when I am at my desk, but there's really no other arrangement of furniture I can work out.

*(as seen on Right Moon?)

Tired out today - ran to the allergists the next city over yesterday afternoon. Didn't get home until nearly 8 pm (partly my fault; I went out to eat and then to the Hastings' there, which I have to say is the WORST and nastiest Hastings' I've been in (and that's saying a lot)). Found out this morning that the NSF proposal I was on didn't get funded. Poot. I'm trying not to let this get me all worried about getting tenure again.
