I’ve been a Doctor Who fan for as long as I can remember having started watching it in the 70s. This piece by Ben Werdmuller encapsulates the show perfectly. A longer piece but well worth the read if you’re a fan.

Because Doctor Who doesn’t promise us a perfect future — it promises us people who will fight for one. It shows us a universe where the best tool you can carry is your mind, your heart, and your ability to listen. Where change is baked into the story, and where survival requires transformation.

Nailed it.

What’s life without a bit of drama.

Sending subtle messages in meetings.

Just clarifying a common misunderstanding about sarcasm.

An enamel badge pinned and a dark green blazer. The badge has a yellow background and white wording which says: Sarcasm isn’t an attitude it’s an art.

There’s a small child screaming “leave me alone” nearby and I’ve never related to a child more. Four more days then I’m on holidays.

Sometimes I like to live on the edge and keep wiggling my toes when I see the cat sitting staring intently at them. I usually regret this. I did, in fact, regret this tonight. For 9yrs old she’s pretty fast.

A new project manager and business analyst have started on a project which was reset after going awry. They want to do current state analysis and capture requirements. The thing we spent months doing last year on a system which hasn’t changed in 20yrs. Sigh. Time for new voodoo dolls to be made up.

It’s 9:30am on Monday morning and I’ve just set up my out of office message to kick in at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon. I am very ready for three weeks away from work.
