I'm similar in this regard. Back when I worked, my calendar was cram full of mainly useless meetings, and I spent my time between meetings playing what I called email tetris. Corporate email is kind of like an atomic reaction. You respond to an email, it generates several responses which you have to respond to and it just gets worse.

I love my quiet time and I need vast amounts of it to keep my sanity. I don't need it so much at home. I get it on my bike or on the trails somewhere.

Enjoy your time in LA, it sounds wonderful.

corporate emails are definitely a cross between a virus and a video game, for sure! i'm glad neither of us has to deal with that anymore. you do seem to like your outdoor time, which is great! being in nature is soooo good for us. :)

💯 Best vacation I ever spent was tramping around the South Downs of England, not a soul in sight. Picked blackberries, found a walking stick, rolling green hills - it was heaven. I feel ya, Andrea! p.s. I grew up in Redondo Beach. :)
