friday random elevenish: “too much teams” edition
Even for a short week, where I was in the office for approximately 32 hours (less my approved time for fitness, which is one awesome benefit I actually still get to take advantage of), I’ve spent approximately twenty of those hours locked down on Microsoft Teams meetings, and the rest looking for an open rest room.
Yes, there are four two-seater rooms on my floor, and way too many people for them. It sucks.
The rest of the week is kind of a blur. I got out for one good bike ride, before it became a cycle of 110° heat and raucous thunderstorms. Most of the rest of my exercise this week has been circling the halls looking for a free toilet, and some sad laps of the mall. I did finally did get around to switching over to clip-in pedals rather than flats, but I’d rather not risk wet pavement until I’m a little more confident with them, because falling on my ass because I can’t get my foot on the ground properly would be, frankly, embarrassing.
The only other news to report, really, is that there’s a stray mother cat and her kitten regularly sneaking through our yard, and the lovely spouse is already putting food out in an attempt to catch them. It’s the right thing to do, even if it’s just to get the feral mom fixed and release her, though I wasn’t expecting to have the universe drop another cat or two on me so soon. We’ll see how that goes in the next little while.
Oh, and as the pinned post mentions, after two decades, chuckparker.com opened up, and I immediately snagged that domain and pointed at a simple promo page for my musical endeavors.
And that’s honestly it; I’m just tired.
As for tunes, this mix is honestly all over the place (and started wading into NSYNC and Britney after I stopped counting), though I expect I’ll be going down the rabbit hole on #5, because she’s kind of awesome, and the universe can always use another pretty girl playing the blues on a vintage Les Paul:
- “She Drives Me Crazy” – Fine Young Cannibals
- “Song of the South” – Alabama
- “Bad Moon Rising” – Iron Horse
- “Billie Jean” – Michael Jackson
- “Two Wrongs” – Ally Venable
- “What is Love – 7″ Mix” – Haddaway
- “Don’t Start Now” – Dua Lipa
- “Young Lust” – Pink Floyd
- “Power” – Sons of Legion
- “Better Off Alone” – Alice DJ
- “Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) – 1999 Remix” – The Hollies
- “Lord It Comes Down Hard” – 100 Watt Vipers
- “Cissy Strut” – Rosie & The Revival
