Is it raining where you are?
We woke up to pouring rain – no walks in the park, and quick dashes to the backyard by the dogs (who hate to be wet). Up here in the tower working, with the pouring rain, I wonder about my colleagues – in Poland, Germany, UK, Chicago, and California – we speak to each other via IM, Skype, telephone, cell phone, email but don’t have the shared experience of rain, sunshine, cold, hot. It’s snowing in Istanbul I heard. It’s beautifully mild in New Orleans. In Portland, the rain stopped briefly.
We come to work with different sensibilities – speaking different languages – sensing seasonal fluctuations unique to our geographies – our personal lives dynamic – and yet we communicate. Is it freezing in Krakow?
