being seen

i've so many times transferred offices:  to this wing, to that floor, to this building.  in all those transfers, i was the only one being transferred  ->  i'd transfer because i'll be taking on a new work assignment.

well, in this my latest transfer, i retained the assignment but had to physically transfer my office (stuff and staff), partly to another building, partly to another floor in the same building.  logistical and physical hardship  : }

the good part, however, is that the transfer gave us the opportunity to start afresh.  our new offices are, you could say nicer, but muuuch smaller.  we were forced to prioritize.  we were forced to sort our stuff.  which should we bring?  leave behind?  archive?  shred?  throw away?

i've previously held office in the main transfer location for more than six years.  the office has floor-to-ceiling glass walls; it has glass doors.  you had no privacy.  i was used to that then.  but then for almost four years now, i've been holding office in opaque-walled spaces.  you can sit this way and that, take off your coat if you feel like it, walk around in comfy footwear not necessarily matching your outfit and pretty much no one would see you.  now i have to unlearn those habits.  people could walk by anytime, could see you through the glass walls anytime.

it called to mind the One Above.  you cannot really hide anything from Him.  i hope i've been living my life in such a way that it could withstand His scrutiny.
