Situation: I am standing in front of the counter and there is a desk on my left.
Alternative situations: I am standing behind a chair facing the desk on the left side of the room scanning for something to do. I walk away from the counter behind me and over to the chair in front of me so I can sit down.
Question: What is closer to m between the armchair on my left and the paper organizer in my 12 o'clock direction?
