Ok, so my co-worker, K, LOVES to hover. He'll come in almost silently, sneak up behind people and ask questions, and if the person he wants isn't available, he'll hang around forever waiting. He especially likes to hover behind me, either pestering me or waiting to talk to my boss over her cubicle wall. He is TOTALLY oblivious to normal cues that the conversation is over: even walking away doesn't work, as he will FOLLOW you and keep rambling on.
It doesn't bug me too much when he hovers, because I have my headphones and can just ignore him. But I want to be careful about what sites I pull up when he's standing right behind me. Problem: I can't see behind me without being fairly obvious that I'm checking to see if someone is there.
Today, a coworker was cutting some shapes out of very shiny metallic cardboard, and offered the scraps to the office. I snagged one, and taped it on my wall--I can now see the entire area over my right shoulder!
GhettoMirror, ftw!
