Spotify wrapped told husband that his listening age is 62 and it has provided me with the laugh that I needed today.

He was also his own top artist which is lolz.

If you've used Chat GPT it's very similar. If you have a workplace software rolled out there is a little more functionality (you can create notebooks with key information you can tell it to access) but honestly, it's a little meh

It is perfectly possible to be both a serious person and a silly goose who likes kids books and stories. I am very much here for it.

Gah, the small autistic human found the twiglets in my office and scoffed the remaining treats before breakfast, now I don't have any emotional support twiglets.

Ah the form has culminated in a short text message reply which doesn't fully address my needs, a push to request private support and me in tears. Brilliant. Excellent work all round.

It took me 15 minutes to complete the form, by the time I’d done it and gone back to the beginning the form was closed again

Screenshot of a GP contact form, it reads 'How can your practice help?' then in a yellow box underneath it reads 'Follow the link below for routine requests. For help with a medical problem, please try again from 8am tomorrow'

You have 2 options: write your symptoms into a form (at 8am) or try and get an appointment at (8.30am)

I do not understand what possible reason you would have to close a form like this...

Oh hey, shhhhhh but, do you remember that thing we used to call One Team Gov? What if we did that again, like, in January next year?

By which I mean #OneTeamGovLondon starting January 2026 and with a virtual session once a month too, wow, hey, doesn't that sound swell?

I'm just imagining a future where your Microsoft dynamics workflows are built and you let it use walkie talkie to tell you boring and interrupting status updates to a whole channel of people constantly, like the Slack noise on steroids.

"The Walkie Talkie app in Microsoft Teams provides a push-to-talk (PTT) experience that enables clear, instant, and secure voice communications."

It's the 'instant' bit that truly terrifies me

The worst anxiety dream, I can’t remember how to get to my office, then when I eventually find it every computer I log on to won’t let me access my calendar, I know I have a meeting but I can’t get to it, people keep distracting me or having breakdowns around me
