the open environment can be distracting

I've found "open" offices should come equipped with cones of silence. Then you don't have to hear gum-chomping, nacho-eating, snorting, sniffing, coughing, overly-loud guffawing, hissing, crashing, banging, booming, phones off the hooking, gospel music, whispering, bawling, and of course...typing.
If you are in the mood to hear all those things, just raise the cone. If you're trying to concentrate, it better be a damn good cone.
Oh, and a cone of non-smelling would be good too, then no lunches smelling like tuna, salmon, barbeque, cajun, garlic, saffron... all good smells if you're about ready to eat it. Not so much if you're not feeling well or not hungry at all.
No, I'm not pregnant (but I don't feel well.)
