No daylight all day at work — what can we actually do?

A merchant once kept a parrot in his cellar, because the cellar was cool and the wine was there too. The parrot stopped singing. The merchant asked Nasreddin to cut a window in the cellar wall — the landlord would never allow it, but perhaps for enough coin. Nasreddin said there was no need. Every morning he carried the cage up to the courtyard for ten minutes, then carried it back down. The merchant complained that the wall still had no window. Nasreddin said nothing. By the second week, the parrot sang again. You work in a room like that cellar. Eight, ten hours, no sky, no wind, no smell of rain before it falls. You did not choose the room and you cannot cut a window in someone else's building. But you can carry yourself outside, on a schedule, the way Nasreddin carried the cage. Done alone, this dies within a week — you feel silly standing in a parking lot looking up, and no one notices if you stop. Done with others, on a fixed time, it turns into a normal part of the day, like coffee. That is the whole trick.
