Closing in on 4pm. Notification sounds from headphones, but unsure what is craving for immediate attention. Echoes of footsteps in a mostly empty office corridor. Some technical exchange few rooms from here. And colleagues gathering on the terrace, cigarettes and social interactions and there's a modest desire to join both but somehow the afternoon feels too tense for that.
