I’ve discovered one of the many annoying facets of having a desk right outside a conference room. Not only is everyone walking by your desk staring at your monitor, but large groups of people tend to congregate outside the door after a meeting and discuss “action items.” Add to that the various accoutrements my desk has, and there’s usually quite a gathering around at any given time. If it weren’t for my headphones, I’d turn into quite the little postal worker.
