When someone tells you they’re sorry, ask ‘For what?’. Don’t just brush whatever it was under the carpet. Have a conversation. Understand why they did what they did. See how you might avoid the same thing from repeating in the future. Agree what actions you’ll both take to ensure that.

I had 6 whole credits to blow on #Audible and managed to choose 4 books before running out of time today. I went for:
Swan Song By Robert R. McCammon
Flesh By David Szalay
The Let Them Theory By Mel Robbins
Vietnam By Max HastingsWhat should I spend the last two credits on?

I have my very own extreme #adhd version of the #pomodoro technique, where I wait until the very last minute to start something. I call it the pomOSHIIIIT technique.

Big timelines for #ExoMars Rosalind Franklin programme. Slippage due to NASA pulling out for funding reasons, then a partnership with Russia dissolving due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Programme was conceived in 2001 and planned launch currently 2028. If that date is missed, it will be another couple of years before perfect conditions are available again 😬.

Be a stability anchor.
When people bring you a red, ask them what they are doing about it. Leaders don’t react with anger, they react with curiosity.

Be an insight engine. Tell your team you need to fish for information.

You’ve got to evidence and surface the value of what you’ve delivered to keep people on board.

Feeling like utter shite. Completely burnt out after 2 weeks with the kids, with my parents staying over for a few nights and with C being right on the edge. Had to drive my daughter for hours over multiple days because of a big performance and final rehearsals. I’m #depressed and completely drained. I’ve decided to have a no-demands self-care day. C doesn’t seem very supportive but I know what I need and will do my best not to feel guilty about it and park pressing tasks.

1/ Feeling #depressed and #anxious again. I had a late night at A and E with our baby on Tuesday and didn’t get to sleep until 3am. Had a busy, productive day of housework yesterday and then crashed at 7pm. Wasn’t feeling it as soon as the alarm went off this morning. Got the kids up, did the school run, grabbed my stuff to head into town to work but decided to try and nap in the van before starting. Just lay there trying to tell myself that it was ok to rest. My brain was having none of it.

Been working hard on the new consultancy today. Am feeling a touch #hypomanic. The energy level is a little uncomfortable and I’m pretty sure the barman failed to give me a decaf latte which really isn’t helping. I can feel the excess energy in my chest. I can’t do anything quickly enough. I need to calm the fuck down but stay productive. I need more time in the outdoors away from my laptop.

“I haven’t felt truly engaged with my #work for much of my 20 plus year career. There have been patches where it’s been interesting and I’ve been getting up in the morning feeling motivated, but for the great majority of it I’ve either been ‘meh’ or #depressed (sometimes suicidally so), hyper #anxious and thoroughly miserable. My variable #mentalhealth is another (yet intertwined) story.”
I wrote some more about this:

After the third #interview (!) for the same job, I got the bad news - that I won’t be taken forward to the next part of the process. Jeez I wonder how many parts of the process there were in total?? This was a private sector organisation and is way more bureaucratic than the public sector orgs I’ve previously worked for!!

Omg I’ve just had to delete all of the bloatware that #bluehost foisted upon my lovely new #Wordpress install. And don’t get me started on their AI site generator. Jeez what a slop factory that is. Can we just delete #AI please?

Decided upon a #domainname for my new blog in record time last night. Selected #bluehost as the host after careful consideration. I used them years ago for another #wordpress site and it’s interesting to see that they’re still highly recommended by http://wordpress.org. Included domain name privacy option and some kind of malware tool in the purchase and after about 30 mins the default Wordpress site was up and running. Really looking forward to building the site.

Had my third appointment at the Job centre today. I’m surprised how quickly the guy wants to get rid of me. It’s a pleasant catch up but he really just seems to want to make sure I have a pulse in order to sign off this fortnight’s payment 🤷♂️ I was in and out inside 10 minutes.

Had a #rics level 2 survey done on a house we’re probably going to buy. In a nutshell, this £500 67 page report says ‘There could be a lot of problems with this property. We are not qualified and/or didn’t have the time to be sure so we suggest you employ an army of property maintenance people to confirm the true extent of any issues that may or may not in fact exist’.
Thanks for that.
