Benommen auf kaltem Asphalt. Der unfreundliche Übergang von Taubheit zu Schmerz. Musik drückt durch Membranen, der Bass, die Stimmung hallen nach, die Melodie geht verloren. Berufsverkehr in allen Modi, zu kleiner Sicherheitskreis, viel zu viel Nähe. Rückzug in Seitenwege. Das Licht folgt. #outerworld #concrete_city #returning #afternoon_deviations

The things we do, the things we don't. Moving on with the afternoon and its light, keeping both close and distant some considerations on technical skills, communication weaknesses, imposters and vague fears. Closing in on 3pm. Unfolding, wrapping, shelving. #outerworld #concrete_city #office_hours #afternoon_deviations

Und wieder unterwegs, die Temperaturen über- und unterschätzt, Gänsehaut, zerkratzte Hände, Krümel in den Haaren, ersten Frühling in geröteten Augen. Die Stille unermesslicher Himmel. Momente endlosen Verharrens, Mond über dem Fluß und alles ringsum bleibt auf respektvollem Abstand. #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations #the_moon_in_these_days

3pm and on: Noise, and no cancelling. High pitched invisible instruments singing, heavy traffic rumbling on old surfaces. Kids and ice cream and chatter and all kinds of gardening tools, cutting through the backyard structures. Exercises in quietly leading mind back to where it needs to be. Again. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #where_we_do_what_we_do #afternoon_deviations

Lessons in patience and indifference. Pondering feasibilities and pitfalls, technical limitations, structural challenges, consulting efforts and a lot of other sidetracks that don't make for a very enjoyable picture. Same for comparing codebases. Not spotting the needle in the haystack yet. Closing in on 4pm. More than just slightly dissatisfied.
