An open space with my coworkers, a window with a view of Montreal’s downtown and a ton of briefs waiting to be dumped in the recup.

I prefer to work with no music. Not my co-workers. So from times to times, I have no choice but to listen to Despacito even tho it’s not summer anymore. I hate that but I love my colleagues anyway.
