Kristian<p>Mittagspause, der Tag in Hälften geschnitten, dazu Brötchen und Banane, am Stück. Sonne floh, Wolken übernahmen, Augen blinzeln überreizt in eine grelle, fast weiße Welt. Im Quartier nebenan wechselt die Belegschaft, unten werden Decken und Kissen in einem Transporter verstaut und zwischen den eigenen Takten glaubt man Dinge zu lernen über die eigene Umgebung, die sicher genau so falsch sind wie vieles andere, in das man sich irgendwann verstiegen hat. Der innere Hochstapler grinst müde und trotzdem frech. (Zwiesprache mit einer Ameise, auf dem Balkon. Kurskorrekturen und Logbuch-Einträge. Immer genügend Raum für bessere Ordnung.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>11am and on. A rolling day made of rolling hours. Slightly dazed. Rapid context switching, repeatedly cutting fingers with inconvenient tools. A walk perceived to be way longer than it actually is. Not really pleased with the distance achieved.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=multitasking+matters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>multitasking matters</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Besorgungen entlang der Strecke. Noch orientierungsloser als sonst, in einem fremden Markt, aber irgendwann findet man alles und vorläufig auch sich. An der Kasse entblößt eine alte, gebrechliche Dame ihre gesamte Lebensgeschichte vor dem jungen Mann auf der anderen Seite, dem die Hilflosigkeit der Situation ins Gesicht geschrieben steht. Wie reagieren auf die Schwere der Erzählungen, die die ersten Worte der Woche aus einem ungeübten Mund zu sein scheinen? Nicht nur aus den Gefriertruhen weht ein kalter Hauch durch die Neonwelt. (Viele kluge Reaktionsmöglichkeiten durchlaufen, auch diesmal zu spät. Sprachlos zahlen. Und weiterziehen, vielfach berührt.)</p><p>📷 lost-in-moments</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lost+in+moments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lost in moments</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=fauxlaroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fauxlaroid</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=commute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commute</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=smartphonephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphonephotography</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Reaching for 4pm, arm stretched and yet not completely getting a grip. Bright sun pale skies a cold wind in the blinds and random interactions between kitchen and staircase. The hour for people to leave early, the hour for people to show up late. And always keeping lists maintained, to let go of things in between days for a while.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Abgestiegen in ungewöhnliche Tiefen, Zeit verpasst. Pause vom Bildschirm vor dem Bildschirm. Verschiedene Arten von Nahrung, verschiedene Arten von Brot. Krähe und Fischreiher auf der Reling. Nebenan ruft schon wieder das Telefon, die eigenen Anlagen schweigen gerade. Bunte Kurven auf weißem Untergrund, Beobachtung von Zustandsänderungen. Keine Erkenntnis, ob das graue Wetter noch flieht oder schon wieder in die Stadt zieht. Wolkenwatte, Wattewolken. Auch als Zustandsbeschreibung.</p><p>📷 lost-in-moments</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lost in moments</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=smartphonephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphonephotography</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=fauxlaroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fauxlaroid</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 11am. Joint efforts navigating the unknown. Breaking changes, lack of communication and a lot of fog left and right, hiding unknown new realities slowly revealed with every single, cautious step. Still not completely sure what to expect or where to end up.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>(Unterwegs im Grau, Himmel erahnend. Jugendliche und Bauarbeiter vor der Bäckerei, im Frühstück vereint und trotzdem weit nebeneinander. Zwei Tauben, kurz über dem eigenen Kopf; Schrecksekunde, intensiv. Zu viel Verkehr, Stoßstange an Stoßstange, Rad an Rad, Abstände schrumpfen. Vom Suchen und Finden von Lücken. Und vom zweiten Kaffee, hoch über dem Springbrunnen. Und schon ein wenig gelöster, in und mit sich selbst.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm and cautiously on. Slow as always once the usual beat of the hours allows for some more lenient mode of the self to be in. Listening ongoing chatter on the stairs, trying to focus on the sound of voices much more than on the actual words. And again running into that odd perception of mistaking people with someone hardly to be met at this time and in this place. Context breach. Faulty memory.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+afternoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that afternoon</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>11am and on. Thin lines between morning and noon. Reshaping clouds, infrastructure, rituals, habits. Also, lost signals and the weird, inexoriably poor outcome of things if half the communication is lost down the line. (Still looking for ways to catch up.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 5pm: Slowdown, finally. Needing to reconnect perceptions to other aspects of being. Feeling the wind again, listening to the sound of the fountains in office backyards. Escaping narrow spaces. Feeling confined and limited all of a sudden.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Halb durch den Tag und noch immer nicht ganz mit sich. Pausenzeiten abgleichen, Mitteilungen umleiten. Aus einigem Abstand weiche Wolken umfassen, die Tauben auf der Reling entlang der Terrasse mit einem kritischen Blick zum Schweigen auffordern, Termine aus dem Vormittag in viele Nachmittage schieben. Spaziergänge über Beton, halb verheddert in Gesprächen der Management-Männer aus den Nachbarbüros. Von manchen möchte man sich lieber fernhalten, thematisch, menschlich. Aber manche Erfolge sind leichter zu erreichen als andere. (Buch und Musik, als Abweichungen neben dem geplanten Kurs. Und eigene Sonne. Jenseits aller Fassaden.)</p><p>📷 lost-in-moments</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lost+in+moments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lost in moments</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=fauxlaroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fauxlaroid</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lunch+break+deviations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunch break deviations</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>10am and on. Grapes and water. That unexpected empty slot in between. Mix and match and watching the day reshape. Communication channels, outbound messages, no response yet. Picking other tasks while still waiting for input.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>(Schon wieder einige Meter weiter, einige gekreuzte Wege und einige verschluckte harte Worte. Mentales Zwischenland an einem grauen Montag, dessen Kälte zu optimistisch gewählte Kleidung durchdringt und erschreckend hart kratzt über die Haut darunter. Wochenvorbereitung: Obst, Schokolade, Frischluft. Und Büroküchenkonversationen. Alte neue Themen, neue Sachlage, kein wirklicher Fortschritt. Dehnen, Knacken, Durchatmen. Kalendertetris und die Suche nach der Lücke in den Dingen.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm and on. Status updated, but only a bit. Sometimes attention gets stuck on things that went unnoticed for month and all of a sudden it's surprising how this even was possible. Adding comments to long logs. Summing up hours. And watching the flights of birds, dark under a bright white sky. Halfway out there already.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=moving+on+moving+fast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moving on moving fast</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Mittagsstunde und der Versuch, Deutungshoheiten nicht abzugeben oder zumindest nicht so wichtig zu nehmen. Gegenüber auf dem Balkon ringen Taube und Krähe um Unsichtbares, die Elster beobachtet das Treiben vom Schneefang aus mit mäßiger Neugier. Eine frische Brise schleicht vom Fenster her durch die Regale hin zum Flur, streift über Pflanzen und verliert sich seufzend in den Fugen und Spalten der großen Tür. Insektenbewegungen. Unbenannte und benannte Zeitplanungen. Und immer wieder das unfreundliche Gefühl, Wesentliches ganz tief unten im Stapel vergessen zu haben. Eine eigene Art von Schatten.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lunch+break+deviations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunch break deviations</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 10am. Weeding the important from the noise. Cutting sessions to planned size. The challenges of appointments that take too long and keep too many people involved, still. And the troubles of finding answers without deviating into sidelines. Nothing new, yet never getting much easier.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+pitfalls+of+communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>the pitfalls of communication</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Auf halber Strecke: Gleise, derzeit ohne Bahn. Pendler zu Fuß unter grauen Brücken, durch die die Sonne nur langsam kriecht. Rote Ampeln, eine nervöse Schlange, gelegentlich wird gehupt, geklingelt, fallen böse Worte. Weiterziehen, ohne sich in den Augenblick saugen zu lassen. Und dann Tiefgarage, anderer Beton, Fahrstuhl, Ahnungen von Frühaufstehern. Eins werden mit der Umgebung und ihrem Rhythmus, ihrem ureigenen Zeitgefühl.</p><p>📷 lost-in-moments</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lost+in+moments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lost in moments</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=waking+to+the+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waking to the day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm in a mild afternoon. Windows opened and closed, a play of mirrored light in concrete valleys. Young kids returning home, appearing as dancing bulky backpacks while seen from above. The noise and chatter of warmer days. Mental workspaces still clouded, dust settling just somehow.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=afternoon+deviations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>afternoon deviations</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Verbindungsabbau mittels eines Telefonhörers, und die Gedanken bleiben kurz an Anachronismus und Symbolik dieses Bildes hängen. Pausenmodus: Obst, Brötchen und noch mehr Kaffee. Reglose Bäume jenseits der Kreuzung, der heutige Frühling liegt träge in der Sonne und ignoriert alle Verbindlichkeiten geflissentlich. Das Erdgeschoss versammelt sich zum Büro-Lunch im Innenhof, ein junger Kollege wirft kleine Steine in den Teich, die eigene Aufmerksamkeit starrt den Wellenkreisen nach, die sich an Betonwänden brechen. Man driftet in abwegigen Überlegungen zu selbst gesammelten Steinen, anderen Seen und der Frage, wie oft und viel man werfen muss, um zu vermeiden, dass die Wellen komplett verklingen. (Keine Antwort. Wie erwartet.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=attention+span+and+lunch+breaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>attention span and lunch breaks</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>9am and on. Rearranging calls and topics. Short off, accounts locked, sessions pending in an undefined state. The bright sun and no chance for appropriate aural environment.
