3pm and on. Switching tasks switching languages ending up with the wrong alphabet cursing and trying to get back to start. (There's quite some strong language in things today.) The model is of no help for the moment, so conversation is cut at this point and problem solving falls back to old-fashioned means of help, such as reading documentation and looking at source code. Coffee stains on the desk, and a silhouette of a big black bird circling the crossroads just outside the window. A grey state in proceeding afternoons.
