Joie de vivre

I've long been a fan of Impressionism, although technically, this is categorized as Modernism. Some of us just don't got no culture, sorry.

Being in the moment, when time flies by, getting into the zone - whatever floats you boat.

I'm not sure I can do any of these things, grappling with the culture shock of working in a trendy, cutting edge, state of the art, new age, cubicle-less office.

Humans are territorial creatures and technical geeks often have poorly developed social skills.

When faced with a difficult situation, I find it necessary to reach for a crutch or security blanket or some source of familiarity, comfort and warmth.
