wotitdo: it's not as bad as I'd previously thought. They were good though and gave me a corner. They finally figured out after 5 years that I don't do well out in the middle of things.
I wrote on my evaluation every year, "I'm struggling in this open concept office." Then they moved me this year in our old office and saw how my personality was TRANSFORMED! So now with the move they made sure I had a corner where no one can come up behind me.
