Doctor: Hey did you see the great clown Pagliacci is in town? Wow, I'm so excited, I have a huge crush on that clown.

Pagliacci, blushing: But... but doctor...

And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in

This evening, in probably the worst heatwave in national history, the UK parliament is debating, and then voting, on whether it has confidence in the government, and what I wonder is, what if the entire building just melted on top of them all.

oh no sleep anxiety

I have too many bot posts in my feed (apologies, bots) but can't bring myself to unfollow any individual one of them

Today's UX pet peeve: Checkboxes that say "remember me" but actually mean "forget me, but take slightly longer to do so than if I didn't check the box"

This week is orchestration week! I have, as is typical, spent 90% of the time setting up and refining my orchestration workflow and 10% of the time actually making music! (I haven't done orchestration in earnest before so tbf there was a lot to do and it is much easier to write now.)

Anyway, here are a few bars I wrote :)

I have recently been introduced to the concept of a RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) and now every time I need to have discussions with my colleagues about who's doing what, I have to resist the temptation to put "RACI encounter" in their calendar

I am Very Behind on my training course but it is Late and I have had a Busy Day and it is now Time To Go Into Space

Me: Phew! I have finally finished the final Fitz and the Fool book, the last of a series of sixteen books I've been reading continuously for the last... LONG while. I really enjoyed them but it's going to feel great to switch to a different world and set of characters - being immersed in these ones for so long was really intense! Now, what's next on my to-read list?
