Published in Web of Weeknotes·Apr 23Threeknotes S14 Ep5 (1st April to 22nd April ‘22)8 in 15. — Because this three week period has been over Easter there have been a number of holidays and I’ve only worked 8 out of 15 days, which is nice but also uuuugh because there’s currently a lot to do (and one of those days was also taken up with training).

But it’s almost Easter?! — Ok well here we are again, another 3 weeks has passed and the year is just disappearing away.

Feb 12The Apprentice AntipatternSeven steps setting up teams for unsuccess — It’s very easy to hate on The Apprentice. I was recently at the hairdresser and she started asking me what I’d been watching recently and brought up the show.

Published in Web of Weeknotes·Feb 12Threeknotes S14 Ep2 (24 Jan–11 Feb‘22)Could also be called ‘What I watched’ — It’s very weird to come to ‘weeknotes’ after 3 weeks to reflect and think that I don’t have much work stuff to talk about, but that’s exactly where I am (let’s see if that changes as I start writing, eh?). The reason for that is that I managed to somehow…Weeknotes8 min read
