Close to 8am and logging in to the machines. Still human. Still not completely awake. Exercising voice and awareness. Trying to find into the right flow while sun slowly rises.

Windiger Mittag, Wespen vor den Fenstern des Obergeschosses, Kollegen auf der Terrasse, manche Themen halten mehr Abstand als andere. Maschinenraum, Datenraum, keine stabilen Abbildungen und die Muster der Anzeigen ergeben noch keinen wirklichen Sinn. Federwolken beobachten, über passende Fremdwörter nachdenken und doch sicher und verlässlich daneben liegen. Springbrunnen rauscht im Hof, ein kurzes Hupkonzert will den fließenden Verkehr umordnen. Dünne Konzentration, fliehende Momente.

Waking with the sun moving with the grey. A few minutes to the west, sky is cloudy and bears the scent and taste of rain. Crowded trams, empty sidewalks, and it's only for the echoes in the backyard to notice how noisy this neighbourhood can be, halfway into its morning. Office kitchen, another coffee, conversations on and off topic. Here again. Somehow.
Fan on medium speed today, more a habit than a need by now. Warmth of the office did retreat to just a couple of rooms and it gradually gets easier to move or think, again. Also, fitting random urgent issues into a packed stack of tasks. Wondering how much it will be able to pile up. The demotivating feeling of still spending energy on systems that are on its way out.
Lunch break in between. The inability to cut from the daily chores for a while. Head wrapped around code and side-effects. Not sure which part of this webbed set of systems to touch first to not affect every other immediately. Stepping forth boldly, following a trail of errors. Not pleasant at all but it gets one there too.
