06/01/2006 Entry: "On The Bright Side..."

I've moved to a new office in our building, one with a window. It's been a couple of years since I've had natural light in the workplace, and I'm still adjusting. "Glare Management," I've been calling it—if I have to squint to see the monitor, I have to learn not to struggle with it, just to adjust the blinds. It's a nice problem to have, I realize. The view is really quite pleasant.

It's also a very lovely skyline when the city lights come on at night. Unfortunately that means I've been working late enough to see it. Perhaps that's just glare management from a karmic perspective. If everything was always bright, I'd miss out on the shape of everything else. The dark shapes the light, the light shapes the dark. And so it is.
