Or so I imagine.
As I walk through Times Square to get to my office I also imagine the city as somewhat like this. All manor of night creatures skulking about on business best left unquestioned.
Actually it only feels like this, like I'm some creature unfit for the light of day, but empowered by the glow of the moon. Anybody can walk the Square at noon. Try it at midnight. Try it again at 3 or 5.
But I don't out in the Square. My office is clean and safe. It's actually quite nice; temperture controlled, well lit, and regularly patrolled. They keep the vending machines well stocked too and the bathrooms are always clean.
I'm starting to adjust to my new slot. It suits me well. There's no distractions in the office at all and I get plenty done. After I get home, sleep and wake again it's early afternoon and I have hours to enjoy the sun, the pool and get things done before my family gets home to find I've made dinner. Then a few quality hours with them before hopping a quiet bus back. Back to my realm.
My realm.
Where I
RULE
...my cubicle. (let's be real)

I must admit that those working hours sound quite good to me. I've always been a late night person.
ReplyDeleteYou've listed some of the same reasons why I prefer working in the evenings myself, especially in the summer: you don't miss the summer days because you're not stuck in an office.
