Huh, TIL that annoying classical hold music song that sounds truly dreadful, and has that high pitched bit that ALWAYS crackles out is an actual song that was released on CD as part of an album in the 90s. It's actually not as annoying as it is on the phone. If it wasn't hold music and I still stumbled across it, I would probably actually put it on for a bit of a chill vibe. As it stands, I think I'd just get ~~war~~ 6 hour hold time flashbacks from it

(High pitched bit that sounds like it's melting the phone lines starts at 2:50)

This is one of my personal and useless gripes with hold music selection.

We're dealing with a narrowband medium designed for the natural range of human voice, why the fuck are they choosing high pitched string and woodwind instruments or "wide" orchestral pieces that only sound good if you can hear the bass?

Centrelink you're probably the biggest culprit, this track is an absolute disaster over the phone.

I spent the morning browsing biscuit packaging ideas and printing some bags. So I didn't actually start on biscuits until after lunch. I have made the cranberry coconut oatmeal biscuits & have the pfeffenusse dough chilling in the fridge.

Edit: I've also realised two of my biscuits are almost identical, just shaped differently. So Oma's biscuits are being swapped out for jam drops.
