[Object] someone’s workbench

Sat in the lobby early for an interview and just stared at their workshop through the window the whole time. Vice bolted into the bench, drill left out like someone stepped away 2 minutes ago, whole wall of tools I couldn’t name half of (some kind of clamp thing, no idea…).

Weirdly calming for something I have zero business finding calming. This is the 6th interview since I started looking and my brain needed literally anything else to focus on for 10 minutes.

Anyway. Still waiting to hear back.

thanks for posting this, OP – a vice bolted into the bench and a drill left out like someone just stepped away is such a specific thing to find calming. I do the same thing with my skin stuff, staring at anything unrelated works way better than any breathing app ever has. hope you hear back soon.

the vice bolted into the bench and the drill just left out really is such a specific kind of calming, like catching someone mid task. makes sense your brain latched onto it, mine’s been doing the same thing lately just with random objects at 2am because i’m up scratching 2 or 3 times a night and need literally anything else to look at for a few minutes.
