This is a /now page, listing out the stuff that's going on with me at the moment. If you have your own site, you should make one too.
What's happening?
- ๐ The big kickoff of a load of reshuffling and rethinking of What We Do within our CX insights/consulting function at work. I like the general direction we're all pulling in, and it's great to be in a team where this is actually being given some meaningful thought.
- ๐ก The weekend was mostly spent with family. Nieces and nephews wore me out, but it's nice to be Uncle Ben and be in demand.
- ๐ช Actually did some tidying up in the garden. I resent gardening but the couple of hours makes it look so much nicer.
- ๐ฉบ Vaguely positive health news which, as much as anything else, puts us in a good mood.
- ๐ Finished a reread Freedom by Jonathan Franzen and enjoyed it a lot. I'd mentally dismissed it as another Corrections but it's a very different story. Started Eliza Clark's book of short stories and even though I'll get through it in a day or two I'm savouring it as much as possible.
- ๐ถ CMAT's Euro-Country continues to be a delight, as does Barbara's self-titled debut in a kind of ELOish, 10ccish kind of vein.
- ๐บ The Paper seems like it'll be cosy watching for a while. It's got me out of watching endless Curb Your Enthusiasm rewatches at the very least.
- ๐ฎ I'm back on my bullshit and doing another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. It's good.
