describing what you're doing
where ever you are

A true Haiku, in addition to having the set syllable count of 5-7-5, also has a nature or seasonal theme.
Since you ask us to describe what we're doing now, in order for it to fit both the theme and your request, it would have to incorporate both the season and what we're doing, to wit:
Steamy summer day
Bathed in corporate coolness
Oh, to be outdoors!
However, if you really want a poem in a Japanese style that incorporates the 5-7-5 structure, but also has to do with the human condition rather than nature, you actually want a Senryu rather than a Haiku.

write you a haiku?
and why should I indulge you,
a complete stranger?
but I will do it
for I simply cannot stop
wasting my night hours
well that was easy
what will your next question be:
write you a sonnet?

Ancient stones
are dreaming.
Florence sleeps,
cheek to the Arno.

***
the lights are going down
when the night comes
the world falls asleep
***
the moon is raising
touching the water
I'm standing on a beach
***
dawn
my lover
vanished in the mist

Sitting on my ass,
wasting the company's dough.
Oh, what a great job!
