My desk at work got moved to a new, more spacious location in front of the emergency exit. I guess I no longer have to worry about what I would do the day someone came in and went postal. I’m right where I need to be to run out to my car if necessary. My car is parked right in front of the door.
I’m in a corner where I’m not as easily accessible to the reps on the floor. Previously, I was right in the middle of the floor and anyone who needed help would automatically stop at my desk. This resulted in me doing a lot of work that wasn’t necessarily my assigned job function. Now, I won’t have to worry about that as much and I’m happy about it.
I’m in my own little corner where I don’t have to say hi to anyone if I don’t want to. I can sit back here and listen to the 80’s station on my radio and ignore everyone. I never realized I was so anti-social until I came to work here. It’s not that I don’t like people. I am anti-social when it comes to incompetence and bullshit. If I think you are messy or full of shit, I don’t want to have to deal with you. If I think you are DUMB, I don’t want to deal with you.
So I’m in my little corner, a hermit away from everyone else and I LOVE IT.
