In Sophie Kinsella's book "I've Got Your Number," the narrator reflects on the challenges of working in an office environment. She imagines herself constantly distracted by messages from colleagues, inquiring about daily happenings and updates. This distraction suggests that she might struggle to focus on her own tasks amid the constant chatter and need for information.

The narrator concludes that her inclination for curiosity and connection could hinder her productivity in a conventional office job. This realization leads her to feel relieved that she is not bound to such an environment, hinting at her preference for a more independent and less structured work situation.
