right?

I am just used to a bit more space between me and people coming at me. My office is very small and my desk can only fit in it on a side wall, so no putting me desk between me and the door. And in a cube, I could see everyone approaching with plenty of warming.

Get one of those curved shoplifting mirrors up in your cube.

A few months ago, my company handed out little mirrors that say I'm a customer too, so we can gaze upon them, see ourselves as our customers, and become imbued with empathy for the people we talk to. They're hanging up in all the cubicles so we can see over our shoulders and cover our blind spots.

I would try my hardest to figure out how you can face the door, even if they have to get a new desk or table. Maybe you can frame it that you want to be able to greet people. When my back is to the door and I am concentrating on something I scream when people disturb me, because they scare the bejeezus out of me.

Good luck. That sort of thing I hated hated hated when I was in a cube. And one of the reasons I'm not sure I could go back to working in an office!!

Went to te clinic but they were booked so gave up. Hopefully wont be an issue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was really glad to realize that my screen isn't that visible from my office doorway, I tell you what.

So I just barely spoiled myself in Boxed Set, but I finally remembered to start watching Orphan Black this weekend, and holy crap. That actress is incredible.
