You didn't miss much today.

We've all been there. You're locked up in your cubby, away from the natural world outside. January/February/March - this isn't so terrible. Days are short, skies are gray, and the temperature is anything but bearable. April/May roll around and you're antsy for the outdoors. You eat lunch outside once or twice with colleagues and swear to yourself this is the year I take advantage of the sun! I'll do this every day! Reality then strikes you over the head with deadlines, initiatives, and projects and suddenly it's June. JUNE! You're bitter that you're still as pale as the Ghost-of-Your-February-Past, but work keeps you enclosed in your 9-5 (hahahahahahahahaha) cage. You tell yourself don't look outside, you don't want to see people enjoying life while you squander away 20 floors up. Of course you have the self-control of an involuntary spasm, and you feel worse as the day progresses, the sun sets, and you remain chained to your cubby. Then you look outside a day like today.

And you don't feel as bad. At least not today.



This was the view outside of my conference room this afternoon. Views of Queens, Brooklyn, the East River, Central Park, or the ESB? Nope. This is was it must be like to live in San Francisco.


Side note - Last Friday's picture made the cut over at Better Off Soaked. Thanks Katie!
