I worked in that building in Glasgow that's gone up in smoke. Feels weird. Based on the unit beside the bookies that started it and the dome collapsing, where I once sat and debugged algorithms is gone gone.

@djm62 ooph, sorry for this loss.

do you write? real people's memories of places and structures and experiences are intrinsically interesting. I think it would be a good thing if you were to record these things as part of the shared history, if you wanted to. a way of honouring the building, your own and the site's history, and a gift for Glaswegian historians and archaeologists yet to come, connecting them to a past they will be delighted to find themselves seeing in surprising detail.

@djm62 when we interact we change each other.

as true for buildings and places as it is for animals and humies.

@falcennial I can only get so upset - no people died, which is the only really important thing. I'm not much of a writer, but I remember going up these stairs that mist have been a century old to interview for the company I'm still with. Pre interview I'd been in the 13th Note practising FizzBuzz in various languages, unsure what a tech interview would be like. Now the Note is closed down, and the room I interviewed in is empty space filled with smoke. It used to have high ceilings, and the floors were like wooden parquet - felt like 60s/70s decor. We put stick on whiteboard film on the walls. Most of the team were fresh from India, and this was their first taste of UK living, far from the shiny glass and steel of London.

The corner beside the one that collapsed has a statue of a firefighter beside it, commemorating the victims of another great fire there. I'm glad it won't need updating.

@djm62 oof. It was weird enough just thinking about that as where I arrived and left from last summer.
