3pm and on, and that lack of mental breath after a long motionless run. Watching others repeating shared experiences, relearning things already learnt before. Indifferently numb. The brightness of the day like behind a veil. Attention slowly derailed. Focusing on on mere body mechanics. Outlining horizons with eye and mind.
Die Entscheidungshoheit des Aprilwetters legte den nächsten durchdringenden Schauer in jenes kurze Zeitfenster zwischen den täglichen Bausteinen, das einem Besuch des unüberdachten Teils der Welt gewidmet sein sollte. Nasse Hose, nasse Schuhe. Missmut. Erwägungen zu Protokollen und Kommunikation angesichts des neuen Bediensteten, der behende die Artikel über die Kasse im Supermarkt des geringsten Misstrauens zieht, unverbindlich lächelt und vor allem die korrekten Formeln für Gruß und Verabschiedung in unvertrauter Abfolgə intoniert. Verheddert in den eigenen Antworten, Schritte vor die Tür, Eile zurück zu den eigenen Räumen. (Nächster Kaffee, nächster Call. Und eine weiche Sonne hoch im Grau.)
Black box engineering, in between meetings: Changing parameters, watching outcomes change at least for a few cases. Shrug. Repeat. As systematic and structured as it gets, and with the difficult assumption of deterministic behaviour. A bad vibe in everything. More coffee, blinking in sunlight, unaware even of the current hour.
Still mornings, switching to different kinds of liquids to get the voice and the mind through the day. A neighbour across the street, wiping water off his tiny balcony. City traffic. Others peoples public phone call in the backyard, too many details. Electronic letters piling up. Some seemingly had quite a long trip. Due dates and expected outcomes not yet aligned. That kind of tasks.
