Seating Dilemma

Nak mintak tolong sket ni, nak minta pendapat korg la. Sebenarnya tgh men-try tempat duduk member yg dah pindah drpd lab. Tempat duduk dia nih tepi tingkap, whereas mine at the moment mengadap dinding sahaja. Itu psl la sedikit gedix di situ. Seat with a view la katakan, kononnya bole increase productivity.

Ckp pon x guna, meh bg contoh terus.


Above is my office. Yg aku tandakan pink tu my current seat. Yg aku tandakan Hijau tu seat yg aku tgh usha. Yg makhluk sorg lg tu nama dia Al, has always sat there.



This pic above shows my desk. I have made it quite homey, but it can feel boxed in a bit. Kalo org masuk drpd pintu aku la manusia paling last tahu sapa org itu, bcoz kedudukan jauh drpd pintu.





This is the desk I was talking about. Abaikan the bareness of the desk, nnt kalo aku pindah aku pandai2 adjust kasi as best as skang nya desk hehe. I cannot sit facing the window, sbb it's a bit cramped, so ngadap dinding jgk la. In a way it's worst sbb dindingnya biru tua, whereas right now punya dinding is biru muda.

But, it does have a view which should promote creative thinking and de-stressing, allowing circulation (tingkap aku yg control eh sejuk ke panas ke), and the window sill is all mine, which is extra storage space in itself. Plak tu dkt dgn door, so I can easily see who walks in (kena tangkap berFB oleh SV no more!), and the lab's phone is just within reach.

However, all that sebenarnya bole jadi distraction. Like, tiap2 kali org masuk aje mesti tertgk2, tiap2 kali ada burung terbang mesti angkat kepala tgk luar tingkap, kalo window terbukak org jerit2 kat bawah or construction noise gerenti dgr lebih kuat drpd seat skang ni, and kalo dah dkt dgn lab's phone tu, paham2 aje lah, konfem jd secretary x bertauliah la eh, expected to angkat phone whenever it rings la jawabnya.

Soal solat x menjadi masalah (qiblat is 45 degrees mengadap pintu td), altho Al akan duduk di blkg aku la lps ni kalo aku move, so my bum will kinda stick in the air in his direction time rukuk / sujud heh. Skang ni membelakangkan cabinet, so x brp segan.



Another thing, kalo pindah, Al will be able to see my screen dgn hanya berpaling ke arah kanan shj (kantoi la aku blogging), compared to kalo right now, beliau kena pusing 180 degrees baru nmpk screen aku, itu pon sbb aku chubby chub chub, half of it is blocked anyway la. Aku agak kurg senang dgn soal org tgk screen nih, but if I'm working like I should be, x payah la risau2 kan?

On top of that, aku agak malas sebenarnya nak pindah, packing and unpacking, atas alasan mengacau momentum kerja, but Al ada ckp, it's like playing tennis, mula2 main bantai je pukul sesuka hati, tp Ok la performance nya. Sekali ada pro ckp, salah tu, and ajar cara betul, so kita akan bermain tenis dgn teruknya sbb x biasa. But eventually bila kita dah biasa, kita punya performance akan jadi jauh lebih baik drpd sebelum nya. Same goes with this seat la kot. Mula2 slow la buat kerja sbb x biasa n nak kena sesuaikan diri, but lama2, mana tahu lebih increase productivity.

Al has also said that kalo aku dah made up my mind, he will be free on Monday to help me. Baik kan? Tp tu la, seat yg so far ni rasa agak comfy dah, but seat yg baru ni rasa agak inspiring and generous with light, cuma yg x tahan nya kena invest time and possibly money to make it more homier and inviting to work like now (hias2). Oh, and I need to let the tech guys know that aku dah tukar seat, so kena register my MAC number to the soket network yg baru tu (read: extra work).

Tp syg gak kalo x pindah ni. Sbb nya come October akan ada org masuk dlm lab ni, and ni last opportunity la kalo nak swap seats. Considering I have 1 year to a year and a half more of working in tha lab, which I can only expect I will be spending longer and working harder at the desk, I would like to have the best seat la kan. So how? All ideas appreciated, but kalo sudahnya aku ketegaq and buat keputusan selain drpd cadangan korg, jgn la marah aku plak. But right now mmg 50-50. Thanks guys.

PS: SV aku baru je masuk time2 tgh hapload gmbr satni. Phew, close call. Tp kalo duk seat lg satu sure x tergezut sbb leh nmpk awal2 lg. But then again, he came in sat ni and bg kerja byk ni (for the composition, not necessarily PhD work), which he expects to pick up next Monday, so maybe x dak masa nak pindah. Hmmm...
