This is a fun page to create.  Avatars often seem in constant motion, but sometimes you wish to create the illusion of just hanging out.  You just R click a ball on a bench or chair, if it has one (which means it has a custom pose) to sit. Most furniture has a "sit" option.  R click and choose "sit here" if you do not see a pose-ball.

SItting also has the hidden advantage of keeping the avatar in place. Some animations that let an avatar sit or lie down still enable others to come along and give a "gentle" push.  In fact, some mean-spirited avatars enjoy pushing others into the water, off cliffs, and so on if the owner is "afk" (away from keyboard) long enough.  I and a mentor did that to a student, as he went to lunch and left his avatar at the edge of a skyscraper's roof....he bounced really well.

Lots of places in-world offer seats.  Here a colleague from George Mason named Michael and I sit in the office where I will hold my virtual office hours.

It seems more natural to conduct a meeting while sitting. Michael and I could just have easily stood on our heads or ridden a rollercoaster during our meeting, but real-world habits follow the avatar into the new place.

The eye patch?  Oh, just a whim, like so much else in SL.  I cannot show up for academic meetings in the real world in my Iggy Pop T shirt and an eyepatch!
