Like the death of a loved one after a long illness, it felt inevitable but was still completely shocking when it happened. Like many others, I\u2019ve been reading and watching the news and trying to understand what it must feel like to have normal life wrenched away from you so brutally. Two of my colleagues are Ukrainian and <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2022\/02\/26\/8724\/\">one of them is headed for the country with her husband and medical supplies<\/a>. I\u2019ve heard stories from my friends doing what they can to help their colleagues in Ukraine get to safety, such as finding shelter for them in neighbouring countries and advancing them a number of months\u2019 pay. So far, the global response seems to be near-unanimous in condemning the aggression and imposing penalties on Russia. The situation is horrible. It has been difficult to keep focused.<\/p>\n<p>This was a week in which I:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agreed a strategy for moving forward with our new network design. We are balancing our need for additional Internet service provider connections and the possibility of moving offices in the next couple of years.<\/li>\n<li>Discovered that the purple banner for Microsoft Teams compliance call recording is a mandatory feature.<\/li>\n<li>Continued testing of the Teams call recording software and completed a short guide on how to use the playback tools.<\/li>\n<li>Documented the workflow for emails and mailboxes for our investors conference taking place in June.<\/li>\n<li>Discussed next steps with our CIO for putting together a portfolio-level overview of the work in our department.<\/li>\n<li>Agreed a way forward for the use of alternative videoconferencing and communication technologies within our organisation. Every company has a preferred tool and sometimes these do not match up between firms, so somebody has to compromise.<\/li>\n<li>Agreed the sequence of events for a number of significant IT infrastructure changes in one of our offices with the principal vendor involved in the work.<\/li>\n<li>Attended an excellent internal \u2018leadership talk\u2019 on the topic of environmental, social and governance factors in the work that we do.<\/li>\n<li>Attended a \u2018learning hour\u2019 refresher session on the financial governance processes used across the offices that we are responsible for.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoyed an office lunch with one of my team members.<\/li>\n<li>Had meetings on the big group programme to align on where we are with the work so far and what we want to achieve this year.<\/li>\n<li>Had our monthly meeting with the Operational Risk team to discuss hot topics ahead of the Governance Committee session.<\/li>\n<li>Congratulated one of our team members on becoming a dad again. We\u2019d presented him with a \u2018baby shower\u2019-type card and gift earlier in the day, so it was perfect timing.<\/li>\n<li>Met with our school Headteacher to review our list of larger one-off projects that we need to budget for.<\/li>\n<li>Had another online parents\u2019 evening for our eldest son. Moving these events online during the pandemic has been a massively positive change. I seldom made them in the past; to be there I had to race across London to catch a train home in order to get to the school on time. The five-minute \u2018speed dating\u2019 countdown clock is brilliant for focusing the mind.<\/li>\n<li>Was very pleased to have a couple of my questions used on <a href=\"https:\/\/wb40podcast.com\/2022\/02\/21\/219-ask-wb-40\/\" title=\"WB-40 podcast: Ep 219 \u2014 Ask WB-40\">this week\u2019s WB-40 podcast<\/a>. I\u2019ve been listening since the first episode and it has been consistently excellent. Its accompanying Signal group continues to be one of the most supportive, interesting, amusing and inspiring communities that I\u2019m fortunate to be a part of.<\/li>\n<li>Hosted an impromptu <a href=\"http:\/\/albumclub.info\">Album Club<\/a> at my house on Friday evening due to our planned host having a suspected case of COVID-19. After assembling a shortlist of albums I ended up going with the first one that I had thought of, The Black Crowes\u2019 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Southern_Harmony_and_Musical_Companion\" title=\"Wikipedia: The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion\">Southern Harmony and Musical Companion<\/a><\/em>, which I have listened to and loved for thirty years.<\/li>\n<li>Woke up at 6:30am on Saturday to go on the weekly cycling club ride but found it to bee far too cold out. Went back to bed and then headed out with my son around 10am to cover the route. We got to the cafe at the end of the ride to find other cycling club members there who had also delayed their start for the same reason.<\/li>\n<li>Refereed my eldest son\u2019s football match, a high-stakes cup game. I have a love\/hate relationship with reffing, and only put my hand up when we don\u2019t have a qualified referee for our home games. It was as tough as I thought it would be, with plenty of calls from the players for me to give decisions their way. Our team did an incredible job, coming from 0\u20132 down to win 3\u20132 after extra time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8727\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E.jpeg\" width=\"1002\" height=\"1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E.jpeg 1002w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/32092021-DDA2-45B5-BFA5-346DB986B50E-700x700.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enjoyed a long Sunday afternoon walk with a couple of friends, through the woods and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk\/pubs\/hertfordshire\/bridgewater-arms-hotel\/\" title=\"Bridgewater Arms Hotel\">a pub in Little Gaddesden<\/a>.
