For my new followers: this year I finished designing and sewing this series of four wall quilts inspired by the four movements in Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt symphonic suite (you absolutely know the tunes for #1 and #4). One shape per bar of music, the chord determines the colour.

“Piano Man” as an allegory of working in IT support.
• The old man assigns you a task with no specifics, no metrics, and this is your fault.
• John has delusions of grandeur, always looking to jump ship but there don’t seem to be any job openings in the movie industry.
• Paul and Davy who are lifers in the military-industrial complex, existing in a bubble and interacting with no one else.
• The one woman in the room is employed in a menial service role for which she is vastly overqualified.
• If it wasn’t for the substance abuse, nothing would ever get done.
• Manager knows exactly who is keeping the company afloat (you) but you still need a side hustle (tip jar) to make a living.
• Pervasive cacophony and unpleasant odours.
Happy Fourth of July to Americans who insist they never use DD-MM format.
