Was at Young Voices yesterday which is a thing where thousands of kids go and sing and dance in the Birmingham arena and it’s so loud and mad for hours and hours and you get home at gone midnight to get up and go again today
Not feeling week. Wife’s off sick and I’m on the cusp of phoning in. My son (spoilered for talk of poo) overfilled his nappy with a monumental shit this morning. Down his leg, up his back. New born baby levels of poonami. So had to bathe him this morning as well.
Please don’t wake me, no don’t shake me
Leave me where I am
It’s only Thursday
Morning all
I’ve got an all-day Teams meeting today, which is a training module for the course I’m doing However, I’ve got my slippers on and the living room is warm so it’s not all bad.
I usually listen to music on Spotify for about 90 minutes before bed each night but I’m a rut of listening to the same 12-15 artists most of the time. I’m thinking of working my way through something like a “top 100 albums of all time” or “top 100 albums of the 21st century” list. Have any of you ever done this? Which list did you use, and how far through the top 100 did you get?
Got an ongoing absolute mess to sort out at Dr Epimer Industries and I can’t face it yet so I’m staying in bed and you can’t make me get up, you can’t.
Sent m into school crying so i feel like a heel. Having chai before Ruby arrives for the day. Meetings over lunch then hopefully back to drafting some nonsense I’m writing.
Been enjoying cinema week, here are the scores so far
Monday: American Fiction - 8/10, fun, touching, some incredible performances (Sterling K Brown should be in more things). It was a bit split between a family drama and the literary plot though and I found those elements didn’t mesh as well as I wanted them too.
Tuesday: Priscilla - 7/10, Elvis was a real fuckin creep eh? Good to see the story from her perspective
Wednesday: The Beekeeper - 10/10, no notes, great film, Statham on his John Wick shit just blowing up everything in sight and then punching people.
Poor Things tonight but tomorrow there is a choice!
Work is so tedious at the moment. There’s basically nothing to do, which sounds good, but it’s actually a bit stressful as I need to think of something to say I’m working on in the daily standup. The only tickets in the to-do list are ones that are better suited to one of the other devs so I need to explain that, and then come up with something else I can pretend to be spending my time on like documentation or something. Struggling to get out of bed. Absolutely bored of everything.
Awful night’s sleep. This afternoon something properly intense and scary is happening (sorry for vague posting). It will be the worst moment of the year, and I’ll be so glad when it’s over
Have been a bit constipated the last few days so I took some relief capsules before bed last night and there have been some explosive results this morning.
