At our weekly meetings, our boss likes to end with a question that gets us all sharing something about ourselves. Questions like:
- What was your first job?
- What’s your favorite TV theme song?
- What’s one of your useless talents?
I loved this last question both because it prompted such fun answers from the team and because I got to share that one of my useless talents is that I can and regularly do make a song out of anything. So after everyone shared, I was inspired to make it into a song. Here is a rough demo recorded on my phone.
