Do you ever obsess over the smallest thing?

Hi, A Team (the 'a' is for Awesome! High five, ladies, up top!)

The added piano octave drop right in verse one of The One by popular musical artist Taylor Swift gives me a goosebump everytime. You can hear it here if you like.

Muscially, it's doing nothing as it's repetition of the same notes, just 12 removed and below, but sonically it's filling a sunset that I'm walking in to. I like the song - love it actually, even though it's a bit twee and trying to be more clever than it needs to - but that piano refrain makes me obsess for when it changes. I wait for it. But then - and hold on to your butts because this is where the smallest thing becomes the best thing - the piano doesn't hold that all the way through. You have to pay attention. Or not: it'll do it anyway, whether you care, whether you notice, whether you enjoy it without knowing.

What small things do you obsess over GD and why would you never apologise for them?

We were something, don't you think so?

It was one of the hardest things I had to learn in my professional life, sometimes things can't be or don't need to be perfect.

Once I spent a week trying to find out why the Workforce Management System we bought only reported 99.9% of an agent's time in one report out of the dozen they provided.

BTW, it was the fact it didn't count the time between a call being put through to an agent and the agent's phone accepting the call.

In my defense, I have none

fake e: but real talk, very much with you. "Sometimes things can't be or don't need to be perfect" = life lesson, noice.
