The door to my new office at work sits midway in a long hallway. This hallway is not incredibly busy, but everyone in the office will walk down this hallway at minimum twice a day (if not to check their mail, then to use the kitchen or visit the head-honchos). I don't mind the location of my office, except for the FACT that most people will look into my office EVERY time they walk by my door. I'm not referring to a quick glance. I am describing a LONG, INTRUSIVE stare. The kind of stare one gives to a weird creature at the Zoo. Or a car accident. The kind of judgmental stare a god-damn-crotchety-nosy-busy-body-old-lady-grandma gives to her next door neighbor for no apparent reason.
My solution today has been to yell at each googly-eyed passerby "TAKE A PICTURE! IT LASTS LONGER!" So far no one gets it (as in no one has acknowledged that I might be yelling at them), but the yelling makes me feel better. Well, actually, it makes me feel like one of those chimps at the Zoo throwing their feces at the wall, but I imagine that those chimps feel better after hurling poo.
