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 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

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

Day 130 – 24 July 2014 Last night’s Dynamo board was interesting. As always it was a packed agenda and attendance was good. We covered four main topics: skills, membership, events and the formal company structure. Bob from Accenture has made huge progress in driving the skills work stream forward especially around the creation of … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 130

Day 127 – 21 July 2014 I’d spent the weekend helping my eldest daughter move into her new house. For two days I have been moving and erecting furniture, driving the van and laying paving flags and so I was glad to get back to work this morning for a rest though my aching limbs … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 127

Day 126 – 18 July 2014 I saw Reegan yesterday happily beavering away in the guts of a computer. We agreed that he’d be better to stay at Meadowfield for his last day rather than hang around with me and I think he’s going to get the opportunity to go out with one of the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 126

Day 123 – 15 July 2014 Last night I was at Stanley Area Action Partnership which confused me no end. The address for the meeting had changed but the location hadn’t. The Lamplight Theatre is now Stanley Civic Hall but apparently it was that way before. Brian gave a presentation on highway maintenance. He is … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 123

Day 121 – 11 July 2014 According to the Institute of Customer Service, the ICS ServCheck is an online diagnostic tool that informs how well an organisation is implementing those elements that are prerequisites of delivering a world-class service. I filled mine in this morning and this will be the third time that we have … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 121

Day 120 – 10 July 2014 Ah well, Froome and Cavendish are out of the Tour De France. Have I told you that I always did like Geraint Thomas? My prediction for the World Cup final nearly came true. I had it down for Germany against the Netherlands. I was so close but now I … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 120
A year of work in progress – day 119
Day 119 – 9 July 2014 Having not set foot in the ‘Room for Improvement’ for over a week I ended up spending the whole morning in there. I came in thinking we would be there all day but got kicked at lunchtime and made our way to another room. Apart from a half hour … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 119
