I work in an open office environment and I spend a lot of my day positioning myself so that I'm not in direct line of sight with anyone else's eyes. I hate that I can't ponder to myself without risk of accidentally making eye contact with someone.
What makes it worse is that if I sit in an upright (comfortable and ergonomic) position I am staring directly at someone. I hate it.
As a result my posture and productivity noticeably decline as the day goes on.

- ScottBurson 12y agoYeah, if the cube walls are low enough that you can see over them -- or if there are no cube walls -- it's just a disaster. I was in a place like that once and hated it. Eventually I found a spot where I was facing a wall; that wasn't so bad.
