Amongst the insanity of 2021 I didn't get round to announcing that I went fully freelance last May - I'm no longer academically affiliated 😎 If you're looking for a live coder/music technologist/researcher for performance/teaching/workshopping/thinking/writing work get in touch.

So proud of the #codeandcreate kids who have been learning @Sonic_Pi for 6 weeks @thebankchopwell. In the last session they made their own instruments by mapping MIDI controllers to different sounds and samples. 🎵👩‍💻🧑‍💻👨‍💻🎵.

Figured I would give the GP another shot in the meantime. This time they said to just bring the certificate in and they'll add it to my records 🤦‍♀️.

I first have to have a phone call with the records department (who will call me in the next 5 days), and then they'll book me an appointment with a pharmacy that is able to update records (which could be "100s of miles away").

Called 119 again who told me the pharmacy should be able to do it. I said they can't. He said to call the GP. Said I had already called the GP and they told me to call 119. Spent 20mins on hold while he spoke to a manager. Turns out the first 119 guy did totally the wrong thing.

Went to the pharmacy appointment and they told me they don't update records and to call the GP. I told them the GP won't do it and 119 booked me the appointment. They told me they don't have the possibility to add new records.

🧵 This week's exciting quest to update my covid vax records with a booster vax I had in Germany: Called the GP. GP said they don't deal with covid vax records and to call 119. Called 119. They booked me an appointment with the local pharmacy.
