jet lag

My sleep cycle is so random that I’ve convinced myself nothing changes when I travel, but today started really shitty and I got very tired at 5pm, so it must be jet lag.

I worked from Lagos all of Q1, so it was so nice to be back in the office. Working remotely with an in-person team 6 hours apart is extreme sports. Requires a crazy level of communication to feel engaged. And even then, it can be isolating, particularly at a startup where information is most efficiently shared in person.

I saw a picture of Dems the other day and I missed my old team. I’m not usually a misser. Between my obsession with present concerns and the non-stop internal monologue, it’s hard. But I have these random moments where I remember and feel the salty mix of grief and joy.
