12 months ago I started weeknoting. You can read the first one here: http://bit.ly/kumHWB. It's turned into a useful habit, and one that I (for the foreseeable future at least) intend to keep up. Taking ten minutes at the end of a week to quickly reflect on things that have happened is a useful exercise (as I have been known to say, getting through work sometimes requires you to regard it as an extended role play exercise – you just need to build in your own debriefing sessions).
It's been quite a 12 months too. This time last year we had just formally closed the project that migrated my last firm onto Google Apps, and were beginning the tendering process for a new network. I popped into Imagination yesterday to say hello and they're a few weeks away from deploying WiFi alongside the now gigabit network, part way through the deployed managed print service, have Active Directory running, continuing to exploit the Cloud collaboration tools, and about to deploy Adobe CS5 amongst other things.
And I, meanwhile, work for one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Seven weeks in and it's engrossing, challenging, sometimes frustrating, but I'm working with some fantastic people (and that, I realise as I get older, is what makes me happy in working life).
Here's to Yearnote 2. Check back next year.
