And I am finally moved into the new IT department space. My back is no longer to the main aisle, nor is it anywhere near the main doors to the trading floor- and I am facing what is going to be the only actual doorlike passage to the area. (The emergency door doesn't count.)

I can feel my twitchiness levels going down already. I've been in the other space for two months while the office renovated and the temptation to jump out of my skin has been powerful, I don't mind telling you.

When I first got into my office, the computer was facing away from the door. I very nearly had a heart attack every single time someone came up behind me, no matter how gently they announced their presence. All of which is to say that less twitchiness is worthy of celebration!

I honestly don't know how anyone can work with their back to the door, especially if it's on a high-traffic corridor. In my most recent office move, I was lucky enough to snag a very convenient corner where the only thing at my back is a wall and part of a window.

Oh god that would drive me out of my MIND. Yay for new more comfortable space!

Urgh, yeah, a bad station at work is the worst thing ever. Glad things are much better!

A prof of mine had his computer against the wall opposite the door of his office, so he put a small rear-view mirror on one corner of his computer monitor so he could see people entering even though he was facing away from them.
