Hot and correct take from LA foodie friend: ‘when I say we aren’t a burrito town like SF, I mean to say we have MANY, many types of burrito, not just one; not that our burritos aren’t good’

@skinnylatte somewhen in the late 80s, late at night somewhere in the Inland Empire, a Naugles burrito set me up to think an SF burrito wasn’t really a burrito. A fine thing, perhaps, but not a burrito and not as good for that late, that when, that where.

Opening my personal laptop to remember the debris of many tabs open to interesting papers from two weeks ago on a totally different topic than what I'm doing now 😭

The intellectual whiplash you experience as a knowledge worker is so much sometimes. "Interruption" is way too weak a word. You have these entangled threads and building little architectures in your mind for weeks or months sometimes. Long-form novel drafting is the closest thing to some of it in my experience

@grimalkina I've always tended to use "context-switch" for what it sounds like you're describing, in both the info-science sense of "context rules" and computer hardware sense of swapping out a set of registers.

But, like "interruption", it misses a lot of the nuance. Especially on the time dimension.

@grimalkina Yes, bigger umbrella definitely needed. And I'm totally stealing "precarity of agency" the next time I need to complain about organisational load (which is pretty much daily).
