Day 194 – 11 November 2014 Armistice day. As I’ve got older I have felt more and more affected by today and all the remembrance that surrounds it. The world is such a beautiful place yet can be filled with evil. It pains me to think of those lives lost in conflict and I struggle … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 194
A year of work in progress – day 193
Day 193 – 10 November 2014 A whole day dedicated to a single issue. Mentoring. The senior project leads had asked for the opportunity to be mentored as part of their development and the SLT felt it would be a great idea. But before we could start we had to learn what it meant to … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 193
A year of work in progress – day 192
Day 192 – 7 November 2014 Finally it feels like winter. Yesterday was cold and sharp while this morning it was bucketing down. I like the warmth but the weather lately has been wrong. Normality is prevailing. I made my way down again to EDC for a Digital Durham demand stimulation meeting. This time I … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 192
A year of work in progress – day 191
Day 191 – 6 November 2014 The Digital Durham team has been put forward for another award. I’m mentioning this because I started at world headquarters this morning. This time it is the Great Staff, Great Stuff awards. It’s not a ploy to sell tickets this time though as they are held entirely within the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 191
A year of work in progress – day 190
Day 190 – 5 November 2014 A had a lot of time to think about yesterday on the train home. It was a long day. Usually it’s the next day that you suffer and I must admit to being tired when I got up this morning. Some of the sessions in the afternoon have got … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 190
A year of work in progress – day 189
Day 189 – 4 November 2014 The train was quiet as it pulled out of Newcastle station. There were not many people about at 4:45 in the morning, just a few railway staff and the odd sleepy passenger. I was on my way to the Nimbus Ninety Ignite conference. I don’t like London. I get … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 189
A year of work in progress – day 188
Day 188 – 3 November 2014 I took the tunnel. I’d promised to be in by eight thirty and with the schools going back I didn’t want to risk the drive through Team Valley. It was just as bad. I think everyone else had the same idea and so I was late getting in. Fortunately … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 188
A year of work in progress – day 187
Day 187 – 31 October 2014 I had a dream last night that I went to a place. I think it was called Lamely. It was a lovely old building with a walled courtyard and a gate in one corner. There were gravestones leaning at various angles. The place was boarded up yet I had … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 187
A year of work in progress – day 186
Day 186 – 30 October 2014 Apart from one meeting, I had set today aside to write some reports and documents. The meeting was with Justin about Dynamo and some work that needs to be done to move the group forward. I discovered that he has a similar penchant for hats as I do. I … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 186
A year of work in progress – day 185
Day 185 – 29 October 2014 At last, a cold start to the morning. It’s been so unseasonably warm of late. No wonder everyone is suffering from a cold. After two quite hectic days it was back to management Wednesday today. It feels like a long time since the Senior Leadership Team has been together … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 185
