Mid-summer

We’re in the heat of summer literally and figuratively. I’ve been sweating uncontrollably the last few weeks and have really struggled readjusting to the east coast summers which also feels like a particularly bad one. It’s also the MLB all-star game tomorrow which is dubbed the “mid-summer classic”.

It’s always this time of the year where things get really difficult to grind things out. For the next 6 weeks or so, there will be a ton of people out of office or “working remotely”.

We don’t really have summers in San Francisco so things were a bit different the last few years while living there. But being out here in New York, it’s hard not to notice that things are a bit more quiet in the office. A lot of the locals are gone, but the tourists are out in full force. My meetings are getting pushed back or I’m told that we’ll circle back in August.

For myself, I suppose I should be happy and take advantage of the relative quiet. While things never fully slow down completely for me, it is a great month to relax a bit and take it easy. There’ll be many more months ahead for me to go back into stress mode.
