I did Timee for the first time today and it was super interesting. It was a one-off work style where no one expects you to do anything and your name isn't even called. It feels like the human relationships in the city, where you don't care about your neighbors, have been brought directly to work. It was refreshing and fun to be immersed in the cogs of society. I want to do it again.
