Blurry focus
I am trying to work, but everything becomes blurry every couple of minutes. Everytime I stumble upon a problem in my task, I get slightly irritated, look away for a second and focus on what the other person is doing. Every single time I have a block, I look at a new person. If that becomes boring, I look at my phone. That too is boring.
I rotate on my chair just to find something interesting. I see shoes. The whole body is covered by the divider between me and the next person apart from his legs. He is focused, trying to work out a problem. I got to know just by looking at his legs. The way they impatiently tap tap tap. Move it an inch, do it again, cross the legs, do it again. And then stop. Bring back legs to normal and hold, as I hear keyboard cluncks. Guess the problem is solved. Another person is pulling onto the tag on the laptop charger while discussing ideas. Swivel a bit on the chair to string out idea into words. Rearrange how he sat to change to a different idea. And the tapping is constant here as well.
Meanwhile, I am trying to get back to my work. Work is blurry but everything else is in absolute focus. The precise movements of people, trying to move through this world of progress as I am still.
