I had an assignment to design a house and I walked into a convenience store asking if they had any timelines. “You know, like for history?” I tried to explain as they just stared at me, confused. I wanted to use it as a ruler. A little moment later, a classmate dragged me to the side and said they could teach me how to draw perspective lines without needing to use a timeline.

We were sitting together at the table when my boss came in. I wanted to ask him about the assignment and he invited me to go on a walk with him. We walked across the parking lot and into the woods. He started talking about how houses weren’t interesting to design: they’re either meant to be renovated and constantly rebuilt due to wear and tear in rural areas or are unable to stand on their own in the city. “Bay houses are better than lay houses”, he said. Apparently by “bay house” he was referring to houses by the beach.

He started talking about a family friend who was a business partner of his and had a house by the sea. He talked about how they had worked together and failed three to start a company three times. One time they invested in a durian tree together, which we just happened to walk by. We eventually made our way to a small school in the middle of the woods. I had never known that the building was accessible from this side.

A classmate was getting scolded for watching vtubers in the office. Apparently they came in at midnight to do so, as evidenced by the browser history on our company computers.
