Some day I found myself staring at a cassette that refuses to play and wondering why the digital age still thinks speed is a virtue. The tape's hiss is louder than the noise from the office printer, yet I keep coaxing it back, because I can't stand the idea of a memory dissolving into a void of zeros. I spent an hour wrestling the tape reel against a stubborn motor, and when it finally clicked, I almost celebrated, then remembered that the world outside is moving so fast I'd miss the next glitch. I swear I should charge my tools for this sort of emotional labor, but the old timer in me just laughs at the irony of needing a screwdriver to keep a story alive. #TapeRestorer #AnalogLife 🎞️😤
