Hello 
I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.
Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...
Go away. Leave me alone

You'd think the headphones would be a give-away, huh?
But no, they sneak up behind me all day, and ask me the most mundane and trivial questions ... "Erm, can we use one of the Macs to print something out?" was the most recent.
Seriously, I wish I had floating text.
"The resident you just asked a really dumb question of is in Busy Mode. Fuck off and let them get on with what they're doing"
Actually I wouldn't dare to ask one of my teachers anything if they look as busy as you do. Can't you just close the door with a sign that you are absolutely not available and that they should come back in 2 hours, or so?
Anyway, I leave you a big hug — you look like if you are in need of one.
Why don't you go to work dressed as Siobhan? Then they won't recognise you.

U kan haz big R.T.F.M. sign? ![]()
Bloody hell; you've got me doing it now! ![]()
Don't you work as a university lecturer? Surely whatever you're busy with, can't be important.

A T-shirt with some suitably pithy slogan on the back of it...?
Obviously not "Genius at work", maybe something like
"You won't like me when I'm angry, so STFU"




lmao
I used to work in an office where I tried a similar trick with red baseball caps. Everyone was allowed to wear their cap a maximum of two hours a day and the idea was that it showed you were too busy to be interrupted. My boss, however, would see this and then go and phone me, using an outside line cos he knew that as support manager I would have to answer it in case it was a major client. Since I set it up to escape his pestering I gave it up as a bad job in the end.
Perhaps you should get a hat that says "If the attachment of your limbs in their current configuration is not satisfactory, please feel free to interrupt me" — ok, so big hat, but they cannot claim they did not see you wearing it
