Giving up the hot seat

It's the end of Q1 and this means, among other things, we all shuffle seats. For me, this will likely be a good thing. I sit in what is diplomatically referred to as a "hot seat," meaning I'm often a target for professors' cold calls. But, while I'll be happy to give that up, I'm kind of sad about the break up of my row. We're a good row (and look, we're so happy together!).
