Day 140 – 20 August 2014 You go away for a couple of weeks and everything happens. The car park outside of Meadowfield has been extended (the islands have been removed) which is going to make it easier once everyone is back in September. More importantly the stairs have been fixed to the new upstairs … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 140
A year of work in progress – day 139
Day 139 – 19 August 2014 The back of my neck and shoulders were stiff this morning. A plasterer once told me how it took several days for the muscles in his arms to get used to the work again after his holidays. That was a long time ago and it’s funny how you remember … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 139
A year of work in progress – day 138
Day 138 – 18 August 2014 I’ve managed to avoid work while I was on holiday. Last week Peter posted a tweet about how some companies allow emails to be deleted while people are away on the basis that if it is important then they will be sent again but I’m not so sure. We … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 138
A year of work in progress – day 137
Day 137 – 5 August 2014 I can’t get over the drone we’ve bought. I should have mentioned it yesterday but it wasn’t until late in the afternoon that I got round to seeing it. Steve had asked me after our visit to Edinburgh if we could get one as research and development and I’d … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 137
A year of work in progress – day 136
Day 136 – 4 August 2014 I consider myself beyond fortunate that I have never been asked to go to war and fight for my, or other people’s values and beliefs. I will remain forever grateful to those less fortunate who have given their lives so I may enjoy the freedoms of living in a … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 136
A year of work in progress – day 135
Day 135 – 1 August 2014 The start of another month and it is a good chance to catch up with the ten things I’m going to try and achieve this year. Most resolutions have long since fallen by the wayside but I’m plodding along. Doing well: Enjoy every day at work – seems to … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 135
A year of work in progress – day 134
Day 134 – 31 July 2014 Mobile phones seem to have been the theme for today. They were a key component of my one to one with Don first thing and I had two meetings with separate mobile providers later on in the morning. We’ve managed over the last eighteen months to consolidate all of … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 134
A year of work in progress – day 133
Day 133 – 30 July 2014 Back at work and back in the room for improvement. I’m using this room less and less frequently indeed I’m using County Hall less and less often as the majority of the team are no longer here. The last time I used 5/109 was on the 15 July. Checking … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 133
A year of work in progress – day 132
Day 132 – 28 July 2014 The berries on the rowan out front are turning red and the Tour is over for another year (Thomas was 22nd by the way and he’s re-signed for Sky for another two years). The seasons are turning once again and I need to make the most of what is … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 132
A year of work in progress – day 131
Day 131 – 25 July 2014 I used to have an aversion to ‘Thought for the Day’. I would turn the radio off every time it came on as if somehow I would become brainwashed by the religious ideology coming through the airwaves. I’ve got over that now. I’m not anti-religion but cannot abide dogma … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 131
