for unknown reasons my work computer is being so slow today and let me tell you it is not improving my motivation to work

I'm so scared of cities. All those buildings so close to each other. You can go to the movie theater and a restaurant and the park while walking, in defiance of God. There are people you haven't met before. Sometimes there's a dog in a jacket
