So there's this guy on the project who has a strategically located seat and apparently is seeking maximum publicity from this location. That's the only explanation I can come up with for this. The individual in question (I started to type "gentleman," but that clearly does not apply, sits in the first seat in a room at the end of a long, straight hallway. He is clearly framed in the doorway for anyone walking down that hall, and that is a LOT of people on this project. Were he to sit upright and facing his computer, his orientation from your viewpoint as you came down the hallway would be facing to your left, with his left profile facing you. Alas, that is not the case.
For whatever reason, this individual sits facing the doorway, with the computer to his right side. He is face-on to the people walking toward him down the hall. It gets worse.
He is supine, and by that I mean he is reclined so far he is horizontal in his chair. Worried, apparently, that this might not be sufficiently unsettling, he chooses to put his right leg up on the desk, with his left foot on the floor as far to his left as he can move it without dislocating his hip. Think of it this way: He is Minnesota, and you are Texas (or Mexico, or Honduras, depending upon how far down the hallway you are). His right leg is resting firmly on San Francisco, and his left foot is planted somewhere in Virginia.
And yes, in case you're wondering, we do call him Captain Crotch Shot.
On the up side, he hasn't been in for several days. On the down side, it's probably because he has decided to skip the dying days of the project, not because anyone at the agency thought his behavior violated the norms of social decency.
