[…] When you break up with someone – when you’re broken up with – funny things tear the wound open. Weird things. Hot chocolate made on the stove, not in the microwave. A raven. Their name, written on the side of a bus, because God is real and she hates you. […]
15.12.2024 10:14Comment on A funny story by Weeknotes S06E01 | Caffeinated PunctuationThis week has been about governance. It has been so much about governance. Governance in the corporate space is the endless quest to point at someone and say “You, you are accountable for this outcome; and you, you are responsible for this outcome.” And then you sneak away while they argue what those two words […]
15.11.2024 18:09S14E04: Who’s in charge here?Sometimes I get a week full of people telling me what they see, and it is very often a pleasure. That has been this week, more or less. My old – very old! – corporate objective reared its head again. Working on a single codebase that’s closely coupled to policy has been a fascinating journey, […]

1.11.2024 19:49Comment on S14E02: what wondrous ghosts we are by JonathanThis week I’ve done policy-writing and team-being-together-ing. The team getting together was excellent. I think in part it was excellent because most everyone already knew everyone else, so we didn’t need to do the work of building trust with each other before we got into the meat of what we had to discuss. That saves […]

24.10.2024 14:28Comment on S14E01: Alright. Let’s do this one. more. time. by caitrionahelenobrienI’ve got a new job (perhaps there’s something in the air) and I’m doing my best to write my stupid thoughts for my stupid mental health. I’m trying to navigate what I can talk about in my new job, and what I have to keep to myself. I’ll probably be more risk averse, at least […]
24.10.2024 13:52S14E01: Alright. Let’s do this one. more. time.I have a headache and I am grumpy about it. I have received a couple of incredibly shitty emails, and I’m grumpy about that. And someone whom I trusted to do some important work hasn’t done it, and I’m grumpy about that too. Normally I’d say that I don’t know why I bother, but given […]

11.5.2024 11:32Comment on Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week: Have You Ever Wanted To Feel Like Alan Sugar In Your Kitchen by Manchester Rental Opportunity of...I’ve only done two of these columns, and one of them was the introduction. We’re only on the second actual property, and already I’m losing the will to live. I am, however, gaining a kind of icy fury, a gnawing sense of injustice, and an RSI. We are once again in Salford, where a landlord […]
11.5.2024 11:32Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week: You’ll Take It, And You’ll Be GratefulThis week I’ve been doing a lot of organising. A lot of cajoling. A lot of: thank you for this, now this. I’m trying to keep my patience, keep the pressure, keep the momentum of multiple things. But I’ve also had people respond to my requests for help, and others who’ve just said nice things. […]

4.5.2024 12:35Comment on Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week: Have You Ever Wanted To Feel Like Alan Sugar In Your Kitchen by caitrionahelenobrien[…] sweet, soft face in my rough, Northern hands. Listen to me. Manchester is like London. Remember? I literally said this last week. There is a ‘City of Manchester’. Is all of London ‘The City of London’? […]
4.5.2024 12:10Comment on Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week by Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week: Have You Ever Wanted To Feel Like Alan Sugar In You...The Apprentice is a show that is uniquely watched solely by the kinds of people who think they would win The Apprentice. They are convinced that they could outgame all of the other people whose only education in business is watching The Apprentice. In a certain way, it’s probably best that this is how it’s […]
4.5.2024 12:10Manchester Rental Opportunity of the Week: Have You Ever Wanted To Feel Like Alan Sugar In Your KitchenJoel Golby wrote a column for seven years about rental opportunities in London. It was brilliant. He was brilliant. He basically wrote the book on brilliant. Anyway, he’s dead now, I think, so it’s time for another overconfident white guy who really likes long sentences and a surreal meta-commentary on his own work to step […]
28.4.2024 09:10Manchester Rental Opportunity of the WeekA short week this week, but a week full of talking and thinking. And revising. I’m writing these in a break from revising block ciphers and cryptography generally. This week has been a really mixed bag. I refactored a big chunk of stuff at the beginning of the week, documenting as I went, but not […]
