Someone mentioned frequent breaks, at my last job, I seriously went to the bathroom every 10-15 minutes just to get away from my co workers. Not for any bathroom reason, but I was doing basic data input, so you cant blame me for wanting to escape. I'd hang out resting against the wall while writing chapters in my novel. It saved my sanity.
As for deskspace, I found that covering the walls with pictures of Matt Murphy did the trick, and to save desk space, I put all of my supplies on paperclips and hung them on the cubicle walls. a messy desk is an unhappy desk.
Headphones with loud music of your choice is good...
if none of that helps, I found picking up and moving to another town to be a great stress reliever.
Slashdot Mirror
certainly seems a cheaper alternative to noise cancelling for 300$

True enough, and it you remove the bathroom - they'll wet themselves. Self-wetting os always a good conversation starter.
