Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within
The 180 Degree Panorama

So I have the best seat in the house. Right smack outside the pantry, the photocopying room and the exit to the loo, where the human traffic is the highest and where anyone approaching me from an 180 degree spectrum can view me and my PC screen in great clarity. Regardless of their intention to do so, for I am simply thrusted into their faces and their eyes have to take me in unwillingly, willingly.
Many a time today, I have literally jumped out of my skin when someone just stood behind me and started a conversation. I wish I have eyes at the back of my head, like the multi-faceted eye of the fly, so I can pre-empt myself for any sneak attacks. I wish I wouldn't feel so vulnerable, as having my back undefended makes me insecure.
I wish... I didn't have the best seat in the house.
