I learnt something about myself yesterday, thanks to our brave new open plan world.
I did a big sigh at my desk, and my colleague R, with whom I used to share an office, came over. She said to the others sitting around us: 'one of these sighs is okay, but if she does three or four of them, it means she needs some attention'.
I always used to wonder how it was that R would say 'how's it going' at just the moment I needed to offload some fury or frustration. And now I know.
