My voice doesn’t do very well with laptop speakers. You mix a London accent, a general lack of enunciation, and a fairly low register, filter it through really low-quality inbuilt mics, and you get a lot ‘what?’
I’m trying to record some stuff for this presentation on Friday - so I can jam all the info into my head - but there are people.
I don’t care that they’re family. Fuck off. Can people not be within ten miles of me when I’m doing this?
Maybe it says a lot about me that I’m not comfortable speaking out loud like this even around my own family. I don’t know why.

The tree is fine. Everything else gets left in pieces.
Grow strong, survive, or die off.
And stop fucking whining.
