1st of March _Friday 2:00 pm 

First time working outside

My work schedule is up to when sunlight is on. 

I started to document work  around 2:00pm

My first direction where I was facing is [  <---   ], but sunlight bothered me so I started to move a bit to avoid sunlight.

A little bit moved.

The screen looked black as sunlight, but my face was burned.  So that I had to keep this posture.

+While working from green, I got attacked by loud lock music. A group of students near me turned music on and down constantly. 

-Weather 

-people are doing different thing in the green

- Feeling good

- I wrote some pieces of an essay here - concentration good.

The same day, 4:00pm 

There is an owner of this bystreet, he checked what I was doing and my personal properties.

 After checking in, I started to document work on my project. 

 When I moved, he appeared again. And checked my bag and the office again.

I tried to finish the writing about my project and organized my thoughts.

The owner of this space played out with a squirrel's body during I working from his space, bystreet.

                                      That is the hardest part to keep work in this unused space from people. 

If we do not use, animals are the owner. And I was the obstructor.

I feel like space does not important matter but what is around you, 

and how you are protected by them is important part of working from anywhere.

3th of March_ Sunday  2:30 pm

Second time working outside

As this day was Sunday, people are not many near Canary Wharf and also at Deptford DLR Station. 

It was raining.

As raining, I wait to go outside work until 2:30pm from the morning of the day, It kept raining.

So that I decided to go out to experience working anywhere on a rainy day. 

I had a conversation with a passenger who is asking me 

'Are you working in here?'

We were having 3mins conversation about working from home and my nationality.......why?

After I work here for almost 20mins, I moved to Canary Wharf.

I was trying to do productive work there,

but I was too embarrassed to continue searching this space to work. TBH.

The street was wet. 

At first, I was finding any space that I can work near HSBC such as interspace or unused space. 

However, there are not any of that kind of space that I can explore.

So I decided to work right in front of HSBC as like performance.

I was tried to set my portable office right next to the HSBC Building as facing their building. 

At this moment, before I have set mine there, a guard stopped me to do it. 

There were three guards inside of the glass building, and also three guards outside of the building.

some of them are searching and the left are standing some spot.

All of them were wearing a yellow vest and have wireless set / radio. 

They keep sharing the whole situation around the building to guard.

The spot I was tried to work was the walking path for the guards. 


We had a short conversation
 About the reason, I can not do work there.
It is because the building is a huge property and it is private property. 
And they said that protect building and workers are what they are doing, and HSBC wants to protect their building strictly. Also, he said you might stop by guard wherever near company. All of the companies have guards in Canary Wharf. 

The space they did not stop me was under this bus stop.

I tried to write a piece of thinking about my project, guards kept watching me.

Honestly, it was embarrassing. And sitting in the street makes me feel very weird. 

I felt I am the unwashed plate in wrong place.

7th of March _ Thursday 2:30pm

Third time working outside

I found an unused interspace between buildings near my home.

I went there and tried to write about my project and organized work I have done.

I worked here for almost 1hours.

At first, It was hard to sit at this bystreet. 

I feel like this is the pathway a rat or mice will use. 

When I sit at there, it was okay.

After time passing, it was too cold. 

Especially I felt cold at my foot and my legs as the ground were cold.

And kept wind was out from the ground.

When I arrived home,  I checked video that I took.

I find out a man goes back to his house as I sit at the bystreet and use the space. 

- I felt this might be aggressive action for people who live there. 

Like homeless people occupied the street with their property. 

Whenever I walk by them, I feel I have to be careful to do not to invade their home.

The man is the dweller near the space, he could not use the space because I occupied the space.

And I think he might do not wanna disturb me,

 I guess it is the feeling ' I do not want to invade your space, and do not want to disturb you' 

. 

------------------------

Whenever I go out to work, 

 I realized that to do work from anywhere, we need building or building-ish furniture to protect workers from environments.

And also, it was hard to really unused space.

Wherever I go, almost all of the space was in use.

If there is some space that people do not use, they put a trash bin on the spot.
