Changing a workplace At last I have moved out from this damn table! I worked for one month sitting by my back to the door (sorry, I really don't know how to explain it better). Anyone who move beside the door is looking at my monitor screen. There is no crime, of course no! But English has a great word — privacy. Yes, that's the key. When you don't have privacy you feel uncomfortable. Even if you live in one room with 15 guys you need your own private space. Little but private, only yours. And other people may enter this space only if you would allow them to do that. I tried to not focuse on that. "Pfff... What's the problem? Everybody sees my screen? It doesn't matter because I am working!" - I thought. But the sense of little discomfort didn't leave me. No one cares about what I do and what is on my screen but I don't feel privacy and it annoyed me. But this morning I have moved away to... nearby table))) And now my back is lookin' at the wall))) I am not sure if I feel comfortable, but I got an idea to write a note for you, my dear friend))) Thank you and good luck.

Changing a workplace

At last I have moved out on from this damn table! I worked for one a month sitting by with my back to the door (sorry, I really don't know how to explain it better). Anyone who moves beside passes by the door is looking at my monitor screen. That is not a crime, of course no! But English has a great word: privacy. Yes, that's the key. When you don't have privacy you feel uncomfortable. Even if you live in one room with 15 guys you need your own private space. Little but private, only yours. And other people may enter this space only if you would allow them to do so that. I tried to not to focuse on that. "Pfff... What's the problem with everyonebody seeing my screen? It doesn't matter because I am working!", I thought. But the little sense of little discomfort didn't leave me. No one cares about what I do and what is on my screen but I don't feel that I have privacy (privacy is a noun, you can't feel it) and it annoyed me.
But this morning I have moved away to... a nearby table. And now my back is lookin' at facing the wall. I am not sure if I feel comfortable, but I got an the idea to write a note for to you, my dear friend. Thank you and good luck.

Well done!
