> Being in Seattle
Seattle is covered by oppressive gray wetness blotting out the sun 80% of the year. Looking at the sky there is just depressing, which isn't the case basically anywhere else in the US. Like, when we talk about getting natural light, the Seattle response is "what's that?" I don't think Seattle should really be held as a meaningful baseline here. :)
Maybe in Seattle they can instead replace all the windows with video displays of sunshine.
- marssaxman 2y agoSome of us actually like it this way! The cool grey skies can feel calm and even cozy. From my desk on the 22nd floor, I get to watch the low cloud layer rolling across the hills of the city; every now and then the Cascades peek through. If it were all sunny blue out there all the time, it'd be too bright to enjoy; I'd probably pull the blinds. My company's previous office had a view over the rooftop garden of the building next door. Even when the sky was fully leaden, it was fun to watch the workers poking around taking care of the plants.
- darknavi 2y agoI love the foggy/misty winter days we've had recently. I don't mind the lack of bright sunshine during the days, but the shortened daylight hours starts to drag pretty hard.
