One of my friends started at my workplace. We work in an open office area and because of that I bought over ear earphones. It’s generally accepted that when someone is wearing them they’re trying to work.
My friend keeps coming over for a chat. Like not just a short one she fully sits down next to me.
I’m on a deadline so I think I’ll just be straightforward and tell her that if my headphones are on I don’t want a chat. Seems reasonable but I hate having these kinds of conversations…

It’s possible that she’s not yet aware of the accepted rules, and needs a quick (and polite) lesson.
She’s probably just happy to have a mate at work.
But yeah, distractions are shit. Good luck with this :)
Unfortunately you’re gonna have to have it - there’s always the ‘yo we frienda but this is work’ even if you’re both in your 40’s :(
