I swear,

I work with an office full of five-year-olds or something. HOW many times does Mommy have to repeat herself? Every two weeks? "Let me know you're coming." "Don't walk up behind me like that, call out when you're coming up to my door." "Don't sneak up on me like that." "I scare easily when I'm working on the computer. Please let me know you're nearby."

... and meanwhile the samsaric cycle throws me a 'hey, lighten up' reminder as a funeral procession goes past the window, led by a hearse with the top down and the back all full of flowers - I assume no corpse as there is a second hearse, top up, behind it. Crapulation! I didn't even know those things could put the top down!

Y'know, they have 2" diameter round convex mirrors to affix to your monitor... although me, I get too focussed for that to make a difference.

Given that most people here have an idea of my Sinophilia, I'd been contemplating buying a nice little feng shui-lookin' octagonal mirror and putting it in the open space on the glass wall, next to my photo of a server room being overrun by frogs. At least motion in the mirror would catch my attention.

I was lucky enough in my last job to be able to put my desk so I could look out the door -- that, and I was tucked away in a back corner, so anyone I heard was either looking for me, the servers, or the printers.

I'm in the back corner. Trouble is, there's a fecking sound-absorbing carpet. I don't hear people until they're right on top of me.

I think I'm going to the mall at lunchtime and seeing if that Jade Creations stand - that is, the Stand of Random Asian Crap - has any dangly mirrors in stock. No matter how embarrassing it is to buy a symbolically wrong one, it'll be easier to fix that than my gnawed-on nerves.

Well, I've got to figure that even if symbolically kaka on one level, anything that serves to soothe nerves has got to be good feng shui on what I'd call the 'ghettotech level:' strictly and only what gets the job done.
