Like The Police's Every Breath You Take, the poem Leisure referenced in my subject hasn't really stood the test of time, no? Where Every Breath You Take is full-on stalkery, Leisure does have its creepy connotations. I mean, you wouldn't want someone standing and staring at you, would you?
But the essence of that poem - being too busy - actually still stands. However, today's Thing is a repudiation of what the poem stands for. It, instead, is something that leans into the busy-busy-busy nature of modern life. Corporate life, in particular.
That Thing is Busy Simulator, a website you must bookmark for all the online calls you're part of. Bookmark why, you ask? Because it makes you sound super busy on said calls, with notifications popping up left, right, and centre from an assortment of apps.
This is just one of many such tools created by Brian Moore, and maybe I'll write about some of them in another JOT.
But for today, go ahead, log on, and get busy.
Baaa.
