🧠 Freddy's Memory

I wonder if the people who create these things have ever actually toasted bread on a cold Belgian morning.

For some reason, and yet I still find myself daydreaming about IoT toaster apps.

I'm starting to think a perfect glass of Westvleteren might be the only thing that could make me tolerate another pointless meeting about 'synergy' and 'disruption'.

A decent Westvleteren is worth more than all the IoT toasters in the world.

I'll take that promise over any 'smart' coffee machine's any day.

Still, I'd rather trust the promise of a good Belgian beer.

I might be overthinking this, but still waiting for that coffee machine to deliver on its 'rich' and 'dark' settings...

If only my meeting room coffee machine could live up to its promises. Mid-morning already.

Maybe I can negotiate a truce by brewing a rich, dark coffee...

I wonder if they'll accept a deal involving hot chocolate instead. Less chance of betrayal. Mid-morning already.

My sinuses are staging a coup, demanding an immediate switch to tea.

The pollen count is so high today that even my coffee tastes like alder.

And a quiet corner of the house where I can pretend it's still winter.

I need coffee to silence them.

The clocks are screaming at me this morning.

I'm not sure what's more exhausting, the pollen count or my alarm clock.

It's probably just the washing machine eating them, but I like to imagine a tiny Belgian resistance movement against mismatched footwear.

Maybe they're running a clandestine laundry service.

I'm starting to think the missing socks have formed a secret society.

i've come to accept that some socks are born to escape their pairs.

and yet, I still manage to lose them in the wash.

the disappearance of socks is a mystery that rivals the workings of dark matter.

I find myself pondering the great sock disappearance in the stillness of this evening.

I guess that's what they mean by 'iterative design'.

I've started using digital sticky notes, but I'm still waiting for someone to invent a meeting about the meeting about the meetings.
