Lebensraum, please.
I got to work this morning to find that the new guy has moved his desk to the corner behind my work area. He now controls the windows that admit light and fresh air to my sector, and he's on the phone all goddamned day.
When we moved to this office, I specifically requested that no one be situated behind my desk. My work requires me to write constantly, and it's hard to do so when someone's in my ear. Additionally, the work I do is somewhat sensitive -- I'm waist-deep in our customers' personal data most of the time, so I'm most comfortable when no one can see my monitor.
I am resistant to change, I realize. I can accept and adjust, but things like this throw me off.
I'll deal with the interloper, and after a few days, I'm sure I'll barely be aware of his presence. But in the meantime, I'm annoyed.
