attention, my phone (including text messaging) and everyone in my building: stop, stop, STOP, shut UP! [sticks fingers in ears and cries from frustration and GO AWAY]
hee. in fact i did turn off my phone, at the same time i was making that post. (well -- i put it on silent. i rarely actually turn it off.) and my door was always locked; but that doesn't stop people from knocking, even if i don't answer. or, for that matter, being in the hallways and speaking to one another, which i can hear from my room. grrar.
Maybe you could create a little friendly sign saying Please Don't Disturb -- Genius at Work, or something that wouldn't offend people but would keep them from knocking next time you need a break.
I also recommend earphones and your favorite spirit lifting music. For those damn voices in the hall. Sounds like a place that would drive me nuts! Good luck!

And lock your door and pretend you've gone out.
