Now completely quiet.

Wind pushing the tree outside and across the street one way then another.

Espresso…

No communication over company chat platform.

So what do I do….

2:03pm and just sent out zoom invite for office hours.  Next week is “dead week”, the week before finals is it’s even called that anymore.  Then, essentially done.  Finally.  Then Summer and focus solely on the AE story.

Message alerts pop up, for and from other departments.  Just enjoying the sound of the tree, leaves like a light high-hat, inconsistent jazz rhythm, a jam session, between Nature and me.
