So where do you sit?

In large meetings or conferences, do you have a favourite place to sit?

Am I the only one who labours over the decision of on which table to sit at?

For me, where to place myself in a large room, is a strategic decision, especially if the conference spans over a few days. My observation is that people tend to sit in the same place everyday, despite there being no reason to do so. We are creatures of habit I guess.

My thinking around where to sit, is very much around the setting, and less around who to sit next to. I am always open to sitting next to new people.

Yet my choice of position is clear. As a wig wearer I always want to be at the back of the room, ideally with no one behind me. I cannot bear the thought of someone looking at my hair from the back.

You see wig hair tends to stick out. Especially the older it is.

Even if I brush it nicely in the morning, at some point, the ends tend to stick out. And not in a natural way, but a wiggy kind of way. It's actually quite horrible.

I don't want people to see, what I can not.

So you see because of this issue, I head right to the back of the room and find my spot.

I am comfortable there and no one really cares anyway.  If I sit at the back, I have my issue solved.

So what about you? Do you chose a certain place for a certain reason?

Do let me know.

  1. Snap! I hate people sitting behind me, because chances are that if my scalp isn't good (psoriasis) there may be flaking ... and I'm convinced the people behind me will think 'ugh, dandruff'.
