Dear Cecil, My firm is moving offices shortly. We will be a number of floors up in a N facing building, with a road and a river flowing in parralel to the front of the office building, and a railway line passing diagonally behind the building from NW to SE. My personal office will be in the NW sector of the building. I am number 1, Sheng Chi SE. My office is rectangular. I have a chioice of desk position and I could do with your advice. Option 1 is that I sit with my back to the back wall of my new office. This means I'll be sitting facing N, my prime direction. THe problem is that there is a floor to ceiling legth large window behind me on this wall. Also, if I turn around and look out of this window, I see the railway line going diagonally below. Option 2. The wall to my left when I look into my office is solid. The wall to my left, and the front of the office are both glass walls. I could sit with my back to the solid wall. This means I'd be sitting against the E wall, facing W. I could see people coming in to the office from my right side, as the door is in the NE. W is not a good direction for me. Option 3 : to place my L shaped table into the SE corner, with one side of it running along the S wall where the window is, and the other side running against the solid wall. I'd put my PC in the SE corner and face that way. I'd have no back support and I'd risk being unable to see the door. Which of the three do you think is the best for me ? Should I prioritise back support, clear view of the door, or best direction ? Also, becuase the railway line is running diagnally behind my office, does all the coming and going below mean my department could suffer a lot of turnover of staff ? Thanks, Bernie Thanks, Anon
