Wow a whirlwind of a week. Lots happening outside of work; feeling very proud in winning a prestigious award, running a half-marathon, and enjoying some nice balance with friends.
Work
Time in meetings: 14.3hrs (4 day work week)
- Digital awards: Incredibly proud of the team for picking up 'Standout public sector/ NGO/ charity website of the year' at the UK Digital Excellence Awards.
- Team day: On the same day as the awards, I facilitated a team day, with the key focus of the day on a hackathon to use LLMs to produce quick prototypes responding to problem statements provided by the org.
- Lots of HR and team admin: title says it all.
