You have the exact opposite problem, your distractions are at home,
mine are at the office.   I've been working rather undisturbed all
morning over a 9600 baud modem and I was only interupted twice,
both taking less than 30 seconds a piece.  In my office, people
come in and out, the phone rings, etc...much more distracting.
It's easier to work at home or work at the office late at night.
