friday random elevenish: “ambition tank on fumes” edition
First of all, I have gotten an imperial assload (much larger than a metric assload) of work done this week in the office, which is good and necessary.
However, said productivity has basically sapped all ambition for Friday morning. Oh, I’ll get a few things done on this last-minute acquisition package (the one I joke about in casual conversation, where I hire the world’s last three COBOL programmers for another year) that I thought I’d managed to finally pass on to someone else so I can ascend to the strategic leadership position I’m supposed to reside in, but progress is slow on my successor, and I’m too damned good at getting these things done quickly.
I am, it seems, irreplaceable. And it’s exhausting.
For the weekend, as mentioned previously, I’m doing the Bikes and Beers ride Saturday morning in the city, which I’m hoping is fun; I’ve not done one of their events before, but I know the host brewery is a good one.
Otherwise, I don’t many other plans – there are couple of interesting things popping up on streaming services this weekend, and I have some laundry to get through.
As for tunes this week, pretty jazzy overall, including my (not really) namesake at #3, and a cover of a CSN&Y tune at #5 whose simple but rock-solid bass line hit me just right.
