Saying the quiet bit about work-life balance out loud; tectonic plates of streaming move again

Welcome to Best of the Week, mostly written early on Saturday morning at rainy – really rainy – Sisters Beach, Tasmania.
Not that I’d be up for much of a walk right now, even if there wasn’t more rain on the way. I’m limping slightly after tweaking a muscle while racing for my connection on the flight home from Sydney on Thursday.
The distance between Gate 11 and Gate 26 at Qantas’s Melbourne terminal feels considerably longer when they’re repeatedly calling your name over the tannoy, and there’s a seven hour wait if you miss the connection. Still, it would be nice if the waiting staff didn’t scowl quite so much when it was their own airline that made you late.
Today’s writing soundtrack: Beggars Banquet, from The Rolling Stones.
