@inthehands you'll have to forgive I've not read the full thread. But up to this point I'd like to share an alternative perspective. I work with businesses that still have those 'outdated' processes today and one of the reasons they haven't migrated to more sophisticated software yet is that it offers marginal benefits. When you dig into the cost of employing people to do general admin sometimes the cost-benefit of upgrading is very tight. Often the sales and marketing is the actual 'hoax'.

The ol' timeline is looking gloomy. Would love to see and boost people's interesting personal projects and stuff they're happy to share.

Not much progress on anything here lately but the garden is still a nice place to be despite going a bit wild.

Looking forward to stealing a few minutes sitting out after I finish work now it's warming up.

@Gargron take care of yourself in whatever way you can. Most of us do something useful every day. Even if it's just reply to an email, talk to a colleague about something or take the dog for a walk. You may never get to the bottom of the to-do list. But life isn't a to-do list it's just 'existing' at the end of the day. Seems like you've done a lot already. Hope you find a way to mitigate or reduce the stress and feel better about it soon. Also please ask for help if you can if needed.

This seems a shame... local adult learning centre offering creative courses to be closed. A microcosmic example of the persistent failure of politics at every level in this country.
