trying to explain the "bathroom office"
Each year, a certain number of teaching associates (TAs) get the "bathroom office," aka room 227B in the Faculty Office building. [note: despite it's name, the FO building only includes the faculty from the depts of English and Philosophy. go figure.]
This year, I am one of the people in 227B. Three of us share this distinction.
Following is my attempt to explain why this is the "bathroom office"...

 This is the view of our office door when you're walking down the hall. Oh, that other door? The one you can actually SEE from the hall? That's the women's bathroom. |  If students figure out the correct door for us, that is, not the bathroom door, this is what they see. Well, they also see another desk. It's to the right, against the front wall. |  This is the view from our office doorway. As you can see, the door that is visible from the hallway is indeed the BATHROOM. |
