I went to work today, after a week off due to the storm. I work in the financial district, so I got to see some of the damage of the storm, and feel the change, the withdrawal of life, in the neighborhood where the flooding occurred. Shops and parks closed, rent-a-generator trucks humming along on the side streets.
At work, there was another kind of sensory withdrawal. No phones, no cell reception in the building..and no internet. Oh no! How can I possibly not go nuts at work, I thought at first. After a little while I settled into this unexpectedly quieter day.
