Apathy seems to have settled about the office today, like a crisp even layer of new snow. A layer that leaves a chill in your soul, and a slow dragging footfall as you go about your daily business.
The dopplegangers appear to be picking up on this apathy, though; and appear to be exhibiting it themselves. Alarmingly, the few that circle around my desk are becoming less and less of a distraction to me now - not because I'm building a weary immunity to their bothersomeness, but simply because they appear to be losing interest in bothering me.
The monitors that we have set up strategically around the office are doing their job to draw them all, like proverbial moths to their 21st century candles: but more than this, they seem to just want to keep themselves to themselves, and effectively co-habit with us!
Although I'm not sure about the one who appears to be their leader (certainly he seems to hover around my superior's desk); he doesn't appear to have moved or done anything in days. Maybe this is something that their kind goes through at some stage in their cycle.
They disappeared early today, which is further evidence of the feelings expressed above. It was nice to have time away from them for a little while.
