I enjoy being in my work space.

People make small claims on the places they spend their hours. A mug kept in a drawer so it does not disappear. A photograph taped inside a locker door. A radio tuned to the same station for eleven years and defended annually.

None of it changes the building. It changes the six feet you actually occupy, which is the part you are in all day. Even a van acquires a particular arrangement of things on the dashboard that means somebody lives there between eight and five.
