Me, to myself, in an empty room: I can't read this very well, I need my headphones Me, to myself, in an empty room: Lol that was weird, better post that on Bluesky.

Not sure what my brain is currently processing but the urge to take all my clothes and throw them out of the window is so strong rn

Husband is genuinely worried about the photos I take but how is it possible not to recognise this as pure art? Who is he? What is he thinking as he stares out to sea? Is he happy? His colours are one with the vast ocean.

👀 @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social 👍

Migraine hangover + clock change jet lag

Weeknotes complete for the week, no weeknotes next week as I'm on holiday, have a good weekend :) @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social medium.com/p/0157762c45...

Hallo! I have finally got my bum in gear and posted the next upcoming One Team Gov meetups, both in-person (London) and virtual, if you want to sign up you can do so on the link below and please RT! www.linkedin.com/posts/onetea...

Apparently going to Wales to see The Cure was too far away so we are now going to Tallinn 😂

So your boss built a prototype on the train... mynameismartin.co.uk/blog/your-bo...

Husband: what is this? Me: I’m definitely not planning my outfit for angine de poitrine at end of the road festival already…

Weeknotes complete featuring the crunchy bit of discovery... medium.com/p/d46d723699... @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

Sometimes, or even usually, having some idea of how things really work is a huge bummer.

Fancy a breakfast time natter with fellow public sector colleagues on current topics of interest? Then coworking in a Civil Service office? The @oneteamgov.bsky.social North meetup is monthly on the 3rd Tuesday in #Manchester. Signup via luma.com/oneteamgov-n... (public sector employees only).

I’ve just remembered that earlier today I saw a drone with a hose cleaning windows in London. Same energy:

Pretty sure nobody will care but I’m going to see deus tonight and I’m excited

I would like to know how many times a day mural sees me pull this face. C’mon mural why are you soooo bad.

Weeknotes done, a little grumbly this week apparently medium.com/web-of-weekn... @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

Fun thing I just heard someone say: ‘data suppository’

It is possible that my key role on any piece of work is that of "magpie" - I will collect and sort through all the things so that when other people need them I will have them to hand. I am a shiny service design treasure seeker, you want a map for that? I have probably found one.

Judge me if you like but I watch a lot of police documentaries. Anyway, I’m here to tell you that there are some bassists out there who are bringing a level of funk to police documentary backing tracks that is entirely unwarranted.

Husband: I made my new album and I put more cowbell on it which is the only note you’ve ever given me about it Me: and it’s the only note I will ever give you.

Okaaaaay, weeknotes done. Bit of a rablerant but generally not a bad week. TTFN @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social medium.com/p/0a9c731ca5... HT to @tashwillcocks.bsky.social and @mynameismartin.co.uk

Ahhhh so the second half of this project is in a mercury retrograde. It all makes sense now!

“It might, potentially, cover a part of a need… potentially” Me talking to my husband about my prototype. 🤦‍♀️

Hive mind: don't suppose anyone in my network has links to anyone leading or working on Adult social Care at Coventry City Council - thank you!

An actual Friday afternoon weeknotes completion, this is a momentous occasion. I slightly burned myself out this week and I need a break - see you on the other side #weeknotes @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social medium.com/web-of-weekn...

Ever wonder what on earth these people talk about at One Team Gov meetups? Well it's all blogged here: medium.com/oneteamgov/o...

Typo of the day: ladscape

Ach I now have a blog comment that is so lovely and well written that my brain believes it can’t be anything but a bot.

Meta train

Oh hey, it’s One Team Gov virtual today and you can come too, sign up here: luma.com/oneteamgov

I genuinely just wondered for a full few minutes what new slang fire hose was, it's the year of the fire hose? Like, eh? Ohhhhhhh horse, its the year of the fire horse. Not this then: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCPh...

Le yikes.

Report from the field, trying to figure out if I'm about to be automated out of a job. www.mynameismartin.co.uk/blog/how-im-...

Non working day weeknotes writing: medium.com/p/feb55474af... only 4 days this week so short and sweet @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

In a random thought that popped into my head today which is both niche and embarrassing, why does the cnyfin framework look like two people squashing their bum cheeks together though, and what does that tell us about managing complex environments?

Really enjoyed this by @noelito7.bsky.social noelito.medium.com/five-relatio...

I got into another fight with copilot today, is this my life now?

Anyone want to enlighten me about why I might have woken up with Kokomo by the beach Boys still k in my head?

Dear economists. I would like to know how many appointments are missed due to poor hospital car park design. See also: how many hours of productivity lost to the workforce. NB: I am currently trapped in a car park

Ah yes, the old turns-up-for-hospital-appointment / your-appointment-has-been-cancelled switcheroo

Weeknotes for 2 weeks as there has been a bit much happening all at once, this probably features a little too much thinking out loud and not enough condensed thoughts, still, it is what it is. @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social weeknot.es/weeknotes-s2...

I caught a bug, lost my voice and long story short I won’t be at one team gov breakfast tomorrow (unless everyone there also wants the plague)

Props to the universe who clearly didn’t think I’d had a difficult enough week, I have now had a bug and completely lost my voice.

Well this news sucks.

Ah, finally Instagram might have forced me out! I might be freeeeeeee!

If you're interested in joining an upcoming One Team Gov event you'll find them all listed on our Luma events page: luma.com/oneteamgov?k=c

Everybody: ... Spotify DJ: Next up songs that'll make you wanna bake a cake Everybody: ??? [Yes this actually happened]
