Service designer, DHSC. It's more than what you bargained for but it's a little less than what you paid for.

Oh CoPilot, you're really starting to get me:
I ask CoPilot what it thinks, it replies "Much better, I think you've moved it from "Here are some weird ideas" to "These ideas reveal future opportunities..." "

I was congratulating myself for surviving the festival so well as a geriatric millennial but now I have been struck down with a lurg and feel like death so YAY I guess?

29 June 2017 was the first #OneTeamGov unconference. Were you there? How did you feel? Wanna do it again? #OneTeamGovAt10 #OTGAT10
An event schedule board for an unconference event, laid out on a large white poster grid with colorful sticky notes detailing different sessions.
The vertical axis on the left lists venue room names, each paired with a historical portrait photo and maximum capacity:
 * Fry (40)
 * Pankhurst (40)
 * Butler (35)
 * Hill (25)
 * Stopes (20)
 * Wilberforce (20)
The horizontal axis across the top features bright pink section headers showing time slots:
 * 11:00 – 11:45
 * 12:00 – 12:45
 * Lunch (spelled out vertically down a central green stripe)
 * 13:30 – 14:15
 * 14:30 – 15:15
 * 15:30 – 16:15
Each cell in the grid contains handwritten yellow, green, or orange sticky notes detailing speaker names and pitch topics, such as "Gov Depts: Evolution or Revolution?", "Digital & Policy", "BREXIT", and "Policy as Code".

My cool to lukewarm take is that Glastonbury is terrible for the live music scene and I would like to see an economic evaluation of how much better distributed the funds for live music are around the country on fallow years. So if someone can get on that, that’d be great.
