It’s always weird to discover that an album you’ve listened to so many times seems to be out of print. 😳

My stupid newly-replaced CGM is screaming at me that my blood sugar is dangerously low and I’m trying to decide between “you are so far off, you stupid thing” and “you’re right, I should have a big bowl of ice cream.”

🎵 Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost

I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world

🎵 These are days you'll remember
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see in every hour

You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

These are days

You'd think a band consisting of Stewart Copeland, Adrian Belew, Mark King, and then Vittorio Cosma would be something I'd have heard about back in 2017 when it happened but apparently not. 😟

@cocoafrog@hachyderm.io @mikeymikey@hachyderm.io Similar, but not a quote: I have had managers claim bug fixes are “charged” to the original ticket since they were assumed bug-free, so any needed fix is not charged to your current sprint’s workload. (Devs just expected to shoehorn it in)

@davedelong@mastodon.social @MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social “Technically”. I never want to select just *parts* of those items so they should be single-selectable. The whole point of the app is supposed to be elevating strings and data bits into operable contexts.
