Found the links in a favourite newsletter don't work (and haven't for several issues). Worked out today I can fix them by waiting for them to time out then editing the URL from buttondown-0000.com to buttondown.com. Vaguely wondering if I'm doing a Bad Thing.

Small moments of work joy :: yesterday someone shared a spreadsheet in a Teams call and made it zoomed-in enough that it was easy to read and I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's ever happened in any call I've been on.

Working on a system to stop myself walking away from my desk wearing my reading glasses. Somewhat depressingly, the best strategy so far is putting my proper glasses on my phone, piggybacking on my phone-never-leaves-my-side reflex.
