Irgendwann kühlte es ab, zog Regen über die Stadt, weitestgehend unbemerkt von den Schlafenden. Feuchte Steine im Hof, gelegentlich verstohlenes Tropfen, zwischen den Bäumen hängt ein Hauch Wald und Erde. Ostwärts spukt heftiges Wetterleuchten durch noch tiefste Nacht. Venus scheint matt im Schleier fliehender Wolken. Schwarz und still ruht die Linie alter Dächer, keine Krähen, keine Katzen. Intensiver Zauber früher Stunden, lang vor erstem Kaffee, ersten Worten, erstem Licht. Habt es mild heute!
#outerworld #early morning dawn #office days #out in the wild
Being up before 6am having been up at 1:50 and 2:50 with the dog to go to the office when it’s bloody cold and you’ve just had a coughing fit and nearly thrown up is not how I wanted my Wednesday to start 😭
I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
Actual Phone Conversation I Had With A Girl Absolutely Going Through It This Morning:
me very quickly: hi this is dylan from x. how are you today? is now a good time to talk?
girl on the phone: what? oh you know! it's just work, work, work.
me: haha yeah! Just another busy Monday :)
girl on the phone i have known for exactly 11 seconds: sometimes i wish it would just stop. it's relentless. and it's every week! how many mondays can someone go through?
me trying to do my job: ha ha i know right? so I'm calling--
girl on the phone i have known for exactly 16 seconds: i'm so tired. i'm soooooo tired. shelby kept me up all night again. she will not get over keegan. they keep calling each other just to yell i swear to god.
me: only 4 days till the weekend and some sleep! :D
girl: yeah. but she's sleeping with me. at my house. didn't he tell you? who is going to get the dog? or the fucking 300 dollar blender I got them?
me: unfortunately no! so i would love to know more but the reason i'm calling is to get you scheduled for x job interview are you still interested?
girl whispering: what?
me awkwardly: it's...i'm dylan. from x. the x job you applied for. we would like to interview you for it.
girl: oh my god. no. oh my - I am so sorry. I thought you were my friend--I cannot believe--I told you work was relentless. I don't really mean that! I talked about blenders!
me: no, no I totally get it. It can be. But that's why you're interviewing for somewhere better! Tell Shelby to apply too! Do you have any availability on Thursday?
Wochenmitte. Unter dem Spiegel plätschert nur ein dünner Wasserstrahl ins Becken und fasst damit den Schwung des frühen Morgens recht gut zusammen. Hinter beschlagenen Fenstern ziehen Farben des Tages über die östlichen Dächer, eine einzelne Wespe sucht ihren Weg in die Freiheit, durch die Nachbarschaft hallt das durchdringende Piepen eines einparkenden Transporters. Krümelkaffee, Radio-Nachrichten ohne Anknüpfungspunkte, noch ist alles zu hell und zu laut. Jetzt also: Tasche packen. Kleidung suchen. Auf die Straße, und den Kopf in die klare, kalte Luft bringen. Der Rest wird sich sicher später finden. Habt es mild heute!
