Situation: I am placing garbage into the recycling bin while the table under the windows is in my around nine o'clock direction.
Alternative situations: Just locked the door in my 4 o'clock direction and reaching across the table to answer a phone call in my 1 o'clock direction now. Standing to the left of the box, looking at the papers on the table I need to get.
Question: Is the table I am facing messy or clean?
