The semester has started, and the hallways are suddenly filled with imminent dangers: Advice-seeking students, administrators who want to dump committee work on me, lost people who want directions, more students, book buyers (who deserve a posting of their own). To make things worse, it's Monday, and you know how much I hate that day! First I was torn between marking my presence (see, unlike some of my senior colleagues, I actually make it to school when I don't teach!) and getting some work done. Now that I've given up on the presence thing (I need to get some work done!), I'm sitting behind my closed door, anxiously waiting for inspiration to kick in. I feel like I've set myself a trap...and I desperately need to pee. Help!

I hate it when I'm about to be really productive and I realize I have to go to the bathroom. It happens too often. I'm not sure what that means. (I'm afraid it may mean that I'm so crazy busy at times that I don't even realize I need a bathroom break. It's crazy.)
So if you can only get work done behind closed doors and that's what you have to do in the end then is it worth staying around just for "show". That is, this way you're not showing yourself and it sounds like you're probably distracted. Just wondering.
I feel your pain...
You have no idea how many times my aspirations have been compromised by my having to pee. I am totally going to actively take bathroom location into account when I move offices.
