“I dimensioned every wall, numbered every door, and quantified every toilet.” Well, that’s certainly not something most people can say they’ve done. What an interesting perspective. I hope you know that now I’m gonna find it hard not to look at every construction site, and there are a ton of them around here, and wonder what person out there is responsible for all the drawings and dimensioning of the buildings being built. And I’ll be left imagining them working away on those drawings the way you did. I think this just gave me a newfound appreciation for whoever those people are.
I love the scene of you walking through the cloud of coffee and cigarettes, the silent design hero that laid the foundation for the entire paycheck of those construction workers. It really is what parenting is like. It's the same feeling when your kids become teenagers and throw a party and they all gather with a sense of importance about the work they are doing together as peers, not knowing none of it could be happening if not for your invisible years of labor.

You are very, very, very cool.
