With my company co-worker on workshop Monday and Tuesday, and Thursday being a day off in Germany, we decided it was ok if I stayed in the UK this week. Which is good because I have to absorb a lot of documentation previously made for this project, those mostly being evolutions of a design.

Half of my clothes, and my sofas and artwork, are still in LA, previously awaiting a sale before being shipped over here. Now it seems that sale ain't happening, I will have them shipped soon anyway, since our future tenant will have their own furniture anyway, we think. Or not. Much is still undecided about that. But anyway, this anticipation of future furniture is why my small flat has an empty room, with just a mattress in it on which I sometimes lounge in the afternoon and take in some sun when it shines. [livejournal.com profile] iejw says that with a room with a mattress in it I am living like a crack-whore. I pointed out there are no blood stains on the mattress, so obviously I am no junkie. And my front-room looks lovely.

The empty room did give me the opportunity to print everything out and put the pages of slides on the floor, and arrange them to create associations and understand the design space and previous thinking, culling superfluous slides, putting interaction sequences in order until I could see everything right. You just can't do that easily on a computer screen; you need an empty room.

Thursday is a day off in Germany? Do they have a 4- or 5-day workweek?

Congrats on finding a silver lining in having the currently mostly-empty room.

Not every Thursday, just this one, Labor Day. Most take Friday off as well.

Ah. I'm so used to the USian habit of making holidays be Mondays if at all possible that it didn't occur to me. Though it is May Day, which I should have thought of.

They didn't use to be so uniform. I miss having the random Tuesday off.
