Things that make working difficult

1) Loud banging and screwing noises on the roof of the Atmos building ... very very distracting

2) Horrible chemical glue smells seeping down from the roof ... cause headaches and pain

3) Power outages

4) Cute boys at coffee shops who you are trying to get to talk to you ... but who are not being cooperative

5) Trying to plan an IDL class ... BORING 

All of these factors are making it more difficult for me to actually get work done ... but they are very very supportive of my internet shopping addiction and my expensive coffee consumption :)
