Tuesday was a shock to the system with a return to the office; I had a feeling of being slightly punch-drunk by the time the evening commute came. I\u2019d spent the day in an attempt to catch up with colleagues as well as get on top of two weeks of emails, messages and other notifications. Some projects had moved on in leaps and bounds during my absence while others were just as I left them.<\/p>\n<p>I went into the office again on Wednesday prior to a couple of days working from home and think that I\u2019ve finally started to enjoy the variation of where I\u2019m working. I still need to have a purpose to travel in and be there, but we have enough going on physically in the office to make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>A week in which I:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Concluded the latest \u2018request for proposal\u2019 process for the technical components of our annual conference. It\u2019ll be great to start working with the chosen vendor on the delivery timeline now.<\/li>\n<li>Had the weekly internal project meeting for the annual conference project.<\/li>\n<li>Met with a colleague to give an overview of a project I ran a couple of years ago to change the way in which we manage unstructured data in our London office. Agreed to meet again in a week or so to see if there are any follow-up actions we need to take.<\/li>\n<li>Met with the head of our API Marketplace to discuss the approach that we are taking as a company to launching and promoting it.<\/li>\n<li>Caught up on the programme relating to the lease expiry events for two of our offices.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewed the status of work to improve the physical and audio\/visual aspects of our office ahead of a town hall meeting in a few weeks\u2019 time, and our annual conference later in the year.<\/li>\n<li>Discussed progress with the dashboards that we are creating as part of the big group programme.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewed the final draft contract for renewing our helpdesk and \u2018level one\u2019 support function.<\/li>\n<li>Updated the monthly London Governance Committee pack, including a slide on the audio\/visual changes we are working on.<\/li>\n<li>Had the bi-weekly management team meeting.<\/li>\n<li>Ran my first \u2018wins\u2019 session with the team for a few weeks. The sessions always seem to start slowly but then build to a decent set of achievements.<\/li>\n<li>Pondered why some people don\u2019t take time to clear out their diary ahead of a holiday, cancelling and declining meetings that they can\u2019t attend. Doing it is both helpful and joyous.<\/li>\n<li>Was treated to two small work lunches on Tuesday and Wednesday, one in a restaurant and the other sitting on a bench in the grounds of St Paul\u2019s Cathedral. I was very grateful for both. It felt good to be back with the team again. I also discovered that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelchocolat.com\/uk\/cocoa-bar-cafes\/menu\/cafe-menu-ice-cream.html\" title=\"Hotel Chocolat: Ice Cream of the Gods\">Hotel Chocolat now sell ice cream<\/a>, and enjoyed a tub on the way back to the office.<\/li>\n<li>Had the mid-year appraisal for our Headteacher. It was lovely to spend some time catching up with her and the Chair of Governors.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoyed a lovely family barbecue with my brothers, hosted at a new house that one of them has just moved into. It felt like forever since we had got together.<\/li>\n<li>Renewed our home buildings and contents insurance by phone after three unsuccessful attempts to buy it online at the weekend. All of the multi-factor authentication mechanisms didn&#8217;t seem to be working on multiple cards that I tried. However, I now find that I\u2019ve paid for the insurance four times over so will need to call them again.<\/li>\n<li>Made some headway on catching up with my personal emails again, and then immediately fell behind. I\u2019m not sure what changes I need to make to get on top of it.<\/li>\n<li>Substituted Monday\u2019s scheduled indoor trainer recovery ride for a run. Compared to the running that I had done on holiday it felt very hard, but I was glad that I did it.<\/li>\n<li>Started watching the Ken Burns documentary on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/p0bk0f64\/muhammad-ali\" title=\"BBC iPlayer: Muhammad Ali\">Muhammad Ali<\/a>. Of course, it\u2019s superb.<\/li>\n<li>Thoroughly enjoyed the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2022\/04\/22\/8963\/\">Album Club<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Did a lot of cycling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7026460949\" title=\"Strava: Andrew Doran: BCC club ride 16\u201317\">Saturday morning\u2019s club ride<\/a> was full-on, with an average speed of over 17mph. I then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7033247801\" title=\"Strava: Andrew Doran: Hemel Hillbuster 2022, plus there and back. Solo.\">did<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dens.org.uk\/event\/hemel-hillbuster\/\" title=\"DENS: Hemel Hillbuster\">Hemel Hillbuster<\/a> on Sunday, a charity ride in aid of the Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter (DENS). Usage of the DENS food bank has increased by 15% in the last three weeks alone, and I suspect that this will only get worse. <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2021\/07\/19\/weeknotes-125-hillbuster\/\" title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #125 \u2014 Hillbuster\">Last year\u2019s ride was in July<\/a> and I was grateful that they had moved it to April, turning down the heat.
