EnglishmavenWishing I wasn't sitting at my desk.It is true that I am sitting in my desk, but I'm not happy about it. We don't need the subjunctive here.I think you missed the the negation. I am sitting at my desk is true. What is wished is the counterfactual: I am not at my desk. You don't want to be at your desk.
