Epistrophy

The post holiday rush hasn’t slowed down one bit. I keep thinking things will calm down and I’ll have a chance to write, but it doesn’t look like things are going to settle any time soon.

We’ve been in the throws of a redesign at work. The project was supposed to be done by the first of the year but for an uneven mixture of technical and political reasons it didn’t get done in time and is now largely falling to me. It’s been a deeply frustrating process and one I’m very much looking forward to seeing the back of.

This afternoon on my drive home I put on Eric Dolphy’s Last Date. For whatever reason it tends to insinuate itself in time between me and the time that was. A sort of forced perspective that drives back the day. Worth a listen if you get the time.
