Irritated!
Have you ever loved an irritating friend? I have and very recently, like she just left and hour ago.

Here's the situation:

I have an office where I have several computers setup with broadband Internet setup. She does not have a working computer but is an alleged writer. A writer these days, as we know, really need both the connection to the WWW as well as the ability to electronically format their work. That's just a given that 'we' don't submit handwritten works anymore.

Ok, so since I have this and my friend indeed is in need, I offer assist her by letting her come into my office to WORK. Instead, every sentence that she writes, she has to swirl her chair around and stop me from what I'm doing to share this unfinished work with me. Day one thru ?, I'm irritated because what I'm doing is important to me, mainly because it's my bread and my butter. I am the sole bread winner so interruptions are lethal.

So, now I have what I see as hostile guest in my home that I invited. Without blatantly saying, "Would you shut the fuck up and leave me alone or leave?" how does one say this nicely?
