*Contented little Internet of Shit noises*

The work printer/copier is super noisy.

The little finisher module that sorts and staples keeps motoring up and down all the time like it has to lift weights to keep its hand in, and the machine itself frequently hums and chuckles to itself.

You can pause this by pushing the snooze button, but aside from waking up when you print something it will also wake itself periodically and start buzzing and clicking again. A bit like a cat or dog startling awake from a dream and going "Mrr?" or "Boof?"

At least it's almost an idea, which is unusual enough...

I've been thinking more in the last few years that I'd like to write a 1920s-30s murder mystery.

On the other hand, I haven't finished many novel-length stories over the years, and I've never tried a mystery at all. And also the last time I wrote regularly was 2016.

The puzzle structure of murder mysteries means they have a different set of planning and pre-writing requirements, and that's a bit intimidating...
