#home_office_hours — Public Fediverse posts

Hinter der Mittagslinie blicken die Augen auch heute dichtes Wolkengrau, einige Vögel, die in Schleifen und Kreisen durch den böigen Wind gleiten, und das Durcheinander einer Baustelle, deren Arbeiten voranschreiten, ohne wirklich einen Abschluss zu finden. Wieder richtungsloses Sinnieren über Bildersprache und Umwege. Passwörter erneuert, Zugangssysteme verändert, höhere Mauern, scharfere Kanten und nur ganz wenige Wege vereinfachen sich mit der Zeit. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #the_weather_in_days

(A little and still what already seems hours later and the day's still mostly about clouds and indecision. No shortage of loose ends to pick up, but usually priorities are a challenge, as are responsibilities in setups of distributed collaboration. Resorting to focus on the very next step, as the best that could be probably done.) #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #stories_of_planning_and_communication

4pm and on, gradual slowdown, overwhelmed and short of breath. Words and fragments like particles of dust dancing in the afternoon light. Stories of glitches and worries and always some imposter to pay thorough attention to every move.  #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #where_we_do_what_we_do

(Mittendrin. Reisegeschwindigkeit kurz verlassen, um am Rand der Strecke in den kalten Nachmittag zu hecheln und sprachlos zu beobachten, welche Eile die Wolken heute über die Stadt südwärts treibt. Wechsel zwischen eigenen Betriebszuständen. Kratzige Stimme. Kratzige Gedanken. Aber zumindest ansatzweise so etwas wie Form.) #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #along_the_way

(3pm and on. Listening, watching, wrapping up yet somehow feeling still too uninformed to draw conclusions. Rain on roofs, most of the neighbourhoods birds are hiding and there's just a slow return into the afternoon, pondering the concept of unproductive hours and the difficulties of giving in to that. Even though not yet, of course.) #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations #home_office_hours

3pm and afternoon all of a sudden. Kids returning home from school, a group of people gathering in front of the store to discuss everyday and holiday issues. Strong light stark contrasts and machines refuse to be thinking for now. #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations #home_office_hours

Digital housekeeping mostly done. Non-digital chores still on the list. Closing in on 4pm, glass way too stained, weak sun, pale blue sky. Words stipulating chains of associations washing up memories of old music and all of a sudden one's drifting elsewhere fast. No singing along, though. Just giggling, once in a while. Feeling slightly off beat, off sync but not in a bad way. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #afternoon_deviations

Phone call hangup, voices muted, unlike thoughts. Some tasks postponed to another moring, some pushed even further. Switching task lists. Pale afternoon lights, rough clouds and a sudden heavy rain. 4pm. Withdrawing for the moment. #outerworld #home_office_hours #afternoon_deviations #tired_self

Der Nachmittag bleibt so trübe, wie sich der Tag anfühlt. Wieder schmutzige Hände, das Glucksen alter Rohre, unten schreien die Kinder im Treppenhaus und ringen miteinander und ihren Eltern und wohl auch dem Mauerwerk und dem Türrahmen. Auch: Technologiefragwürdigkeiten, Modellhalluzinationen und die Versuche, wenigstens die gröbsten Fehler durch nachgelagerte Logik zu bereinigen. Die Gedanken bleiben dort hängen, die Wolken ziehen träge weiter. #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations

Pixel structures, stuttering audio channels. Temporary resource constraints that seemed resolved more than just once, but not feeling like cleaning up again right now. Too, once again getting lost in rabbit holes, like complaints on how things get more and more noisy and uncomfortable, voiced by actors who then again merrily contribute to exactly this. 3pm. Clueless. Overstimulated. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #afternoon_deviations
