Obsession with the Office Door

I have a hyperactive imagination. I like to think of various possibilities and scenarios, and imagine all sorts of stuff. Some may say it is a good thing since it signifies creativity. I beg to differ.

I have been at this job for about 9 months already. I've been occupying this little room filled with computers, parts, and other odds and ends. My room lies at the end of the corridor where there is little or no wind. Unlike the other lecturers, the cleaning ladies have yet to block the window at the side of my door with a curtain, so I can view outside my door with ease and vice versa.

Anyway, for the past two weeks, my room door has been playing tricks with my imagination either due to my boredom or I'm starting to become paranoid with old age. In the late evening as after office hours, I have suddenly become conscious that occasionally the stupid door opens or closes, or the knob just clicks as if someone was opening it. However, when I look outside, there is nobody. I've double checked the door's weight and swingability but I'm not convinced it's the wind. The stormy weather that comes mostly in the evening theses days just adds to the creepy ambience. To compound it, now is the holiday season and most of the lecturers are not around.

So yours truly's mind has been toying with crazy ideas, 'Hmm, ghosts? dang, as if I don't have enough problems already'. Sigh, I need to go for another break.

Editor's Note: I think I shall take a picture of the door this evening and post it up. Brrrrrr.... on the other hand, better not. Wa ha ha ha ha ha! (oops, do I sound insane?)
