My co-workers tend to put post-its on their office doors when eating lunch.  Most of them say “lunching”.  I wasn’t sure why the world needed to know exactly why my door was closed, especially since there is no incentive to be honest.  I could say “lunching” but actually spend my time with the door closed cruising the internet.  Or reading a book.

But assuming that information is actually a good, I decided to post up not only what I was doing, but exactly what my meal consisted of.  Usually salad.  But then I began to realize that people would now know how boring my lunch really is.  Except that my salad is a little different each day, it’s still basically salad.

Still, the total lack of a sticky-note seems unfriendly.  Just a closed door.  So I’ve taken to putting a blank sticky-note on my door when I’m eating.  If anyone asks, I’ll say I originally planned to write “reject the narrow-minded constraints of textualism”, but then realized the note would be objecting to itself, and this was the closest I could come.

But nobody has asked.  Yet.
