Since last May or so, I've been participating in a leadership development program at work. It's been an.... interesting process. After self-awareness and emotional intelligence, we've moved on to situational leadership. I've noticed a pattern in the way that I've reacted to each new area. It seems that I don't like it when I don't… Continue reading Learning hurts
OK, so potentially debatable opinion: I hate Zoom. Work has just switched to Zoom for conference calls and that means more video calls. I've managed to avoid them so far for the most part - himself almost always interrupts my regular Wednesday group meeting and I've started making him wave at the other participants in… Continue reading You look tired…
Edit: If you want to see the end of the story, here's the conclusion. So a couple of months ago an exciting but scary opportunity presented itself to me at work. I'd been trundling along with the same general activities for quite a while, there are challenges and long term projects running all the time… Continue reading Exciting and scary: some progress

I've just been bumbling along for quite a while with no major events beyond the usual daily or weekly frustrations of my team. Anyway, a thing happened today.

I took them to breakfast club, worked, did my second c25k run, and set about the horror of Thursday afternoon meetings. Started at 12.30… Continue reading Mummy guilt (part 1 of many)
Woo hoo holiday tomorrow. You'd think I'd be winding down at work. Tidying up and doing as little as possible. But no. I'm fixing other people's crap cos if I don't do it now I'll have forgotten about it when I come back and it's not that important but if it isn't done correctly now… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D minus 1
So the hardest thing about working from home is that you're always at work. Well so long as you're in the house that is. I'm having an evening where I'm re-evaluating my relationship with my laptop and my email. I've always been proud that I don't work weekends and I never ever have, in 12… Continue reading The temptation of the laptop
