If I didn't work for a publicly-listed European company, I'd be sorely tempted to go full clown mode on my LinkedIn account. What an absolute garbage fire of a platform.

The last decade is the story of how computers got boring. I discovered yesterday that my iPad is five years old (because the keyboard cover that fits it is discontinued, which is another story), and even as a lifelong power-user nerd, there’s no reason for me to want a newer one.

In other news: I'm fucking exhausted. Like, seriously exhausted. This has been a huge year on so many fronts. I'm struggling to make it through each day without some form of emotional dysregulation. Sounds like burnout. Looking forward to some time off.

Absolutely amazing!
And now I'm also trying to figure out which production of Arcadia I saw around this time. I thought it was in London, but I'd already left by 1993. So maybe Sydney? Regardless, I loved it.
And next year I will see it in London!
