Do Not Disturb

At my last job there was this paralegal who was so knowledgable that everyone went to her with questions, even the attorneys. I was lucky enough to be on her team but I got to see how often she was interrupted; to the point she would go days without getting work done. One day I asked her if she would like me to put a threatening "Do Not Disturb" sign on her door. She laugh but declined.

Even though my offer was somewhat a joke, by the time I got back to my desk I had several funny/stupid (you decide) variations of "Do Not Disturb" running through my head. So I typed them all up and emailed them to the paralegal if she ever changed her mind and needed to use one.

I have listed these "Do Not Disturbs" below, so if you are ever in need of something to this effect, feel free to use them.

Please do not disturb.
