first day in office

neon sign at the office

took a cold shower in the morning. the feeling right before you enter a cold shower is the worst, the feeling right after is the best.

first day back in office, i felt a ton of anxiety. my fight or flight senses were constantly triggering. it's a new place and environment, with people i've only met a few times.

but it's nice to be around people, i get to learn a lot more, and exercise my socializing muscle. i'm optimizing for discomfort, because it's signal for where i can grow more.
