I woke up this morning, went to the gym, made myself a nice breakfast. Folded some laundry, cleaned up the apartment and now I’m working outdoors at a coffee shop. Lunch hour is blocked so I can take a nice walk and listen to a podcast. God I love remote working.

I woke up this morning, ate breakfast, took the train to the gym, worked out, showered, came into the office and worked, while bouncing ideas off of my coworkers.

A couple of us are getting lunch (some other creatives and your two favorite CDs). Wanna join or should I leave you with your podcast?

Maybe I’ll fold laundry and clean the apartment when I get home, but when I’m at home it feels like a task sitting in the way of me starting my work. It’s nice to have the separation from the domestic

Hey, I had a nice morning too. Just different things for different people (I can’t work well when there’s housework to do, eg)

the “your two favorite CDs” was a joke, but you’re welcome to join us whenever you’re free ❤️

That's nice. But being in the office is also nice, so I'm into hybrid tbh.

This is true, but should our work relationships be the primary source of social interaction? I feel work friendships aren't typically deep or authentic.
