10am and on. Genuinely distracted by whether or not sun's sneaking into the streets today. Still, heavy work seems to be going on somewhere in the houses, but noise remains bearable today. Water instead of coffee for a moment, and a sudden noticing of things that haven't been touched in ages but should have. (Also: Discussing code for which the opposite is true. Either approaches are difficult.)
10pm and on. Feeling the pleasant achievement of shaping a sharp-tongued comment on some familiar issue to ultimately just throw it away and choose to ignore that topic for now. Still not totally calm in this, but at least getting closer to a point where some things can float by more easily. (Slowly stepping forth in unfamiliar territories.)
Also: That dreadful moment to notice having addressed a person with name spelled slightly wrong in e-mails for weeks. Now, wondering whether this should be fixed or just briefly ignored and done right in the future. Both ways seem uncomfortable. Decisions decisions.
3pm and on. Of tasks and language: Trying to find better wording for environments in which bugs and issues aren't supposed to happen. Seems this is more time-consuming than actually getting rid of the problem itself. (Behavioural anomaly is what the model suggested, and maybe for that very moment, the answer has been convincing.)
Closing in on 4pm. Cautiously checking what could be fit into what's left of today. Briefly browsing through emails, picking some, feeling the joy of having an issue kicked onto someone elses side of the field and actually being able to get away with it. Complexity matters. All the time. And communication complexity doubly so.
