My last office stint was open-plan with lockers and hotdesking.

Absolutely despised by the developers; we would have been ecstatic with cubes.

Yeah, we have "high" cubicle walls, but the last 12" is glass which defeats the purpose. I face a walkway and people's heads are in my view as they pass, which can be incredibly distracting.

We get a lot of natural light this way which can be great, except when the sun rises right into your eyes with no way to block it.

Printer paper and tape would solve your problem quickly.

Yeah, but it's difficult to tape paper on everyone's face as they walk by.

If you started doing that I bet they'd start choosing another route. Problem solved!

I like your attitude! If I ever go back to an office job, you can be my cubicle mate.
