(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?
🪓 Got the news on Wednesday that I'm likely being made redundant. In fact, huge swathes of my company are going. In some ways it's not unexpected - we were a company that was acquired by a company that was acquired, and it's felt like the past 18 months have been a purgatory while decisions are being made. It still hurts though. Anyway, me and most of my colleagues are now in a 30-day consultation period before we're given the proper news.
🤷 The rest of the week's been pretty meaningless as a result.
🎥 I did watch a couple of films though - Bad Times At The El Royale, which would be amazing if it lost maybe 30 minutes of runtime, and Good Fortune, which is a rare film that would be better if Keanu Reeves wasn't in it. Both a solid 6/10.
☕️ I mentioned a new pizza/bar/coffee shop last week. I ended up working there a bit this week and it is as lovely as I'd hoped. Going to make that a frequent spot.
📚 Finally finished Neuromancer and am pleased to move on. I'm really enjoying Ian Leslie's book about The Beatles through John and Paul's relationship, even if it doesn't really offer anything new.
🚶Once again we did a lot of walking near to water over the weekend. Smooth paths, lapping water, and occasional birdspotting eases the soul.
