Been quiet on this platfor. I need to up my game here. Just wondering about keeping my profile on the platform formally known as Twitter open, as there's lots of great things to look ok back on.

Struggles today, burst into tears in a catch up imagining a worst case scenario. Feel very silly.

Next time I'm on a call with someone who says I've heard good things about you. Don't go into sabotage/ overly modest mode and say it's not true. Not the greatest self promotion and exercise I've ever done. Far better at bigging others up.

Not the greatest day today. My presenting mojo left me and I didn't the rerecording done. Plus I am so worried about some stuff right now.

That kind of day when all I can think of are the things I'm not good at. Hard when I don't really know what know what I am good at and comparing to peers doesn't help either.

Starting to feel a bit stressed about stuff and how it might be perceived. Kinda feel a bit hapless!

Today is turning into a day to forget. I feel very flawed right now. Role, am I making a difference ugh.

Awesome time at TestBash. I won a mentoring session from Lloyds Banking group. Some interesting topics to choose from.

The worry chimp has come to play in my head this evening. Really didn't ask for this

Looking forward to daughter's first day of school tomorrow. She's smashed the stay and plays, now for the real thing. In other news I hit my late 40's last weekend. I keep challenging myself to do better.

Attended the MoT MidsTest meet up last night on metrics that matter. Any talk that references old school footy management game Championship Manager 01/02 has to be good! Now to go back over notes. www.meetup.com/ministry-of-...

It's been put to me I should be owning risk wholistically owning our support capabilities and governance. Those are meaty items to get ones head around.

Hard meeting today. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the things that have been put to me.

Well I've started writing it. Tried to split it out into different areas. Hopefully done soon.

Starting to think about a blog post reflecting on 20+ years doing testing (I'll have done 22 years at my place of work tomorrow). Need to write something that'd be useful.

Yeah, my Octavia estate still looks like a car rather than a monster truck. I do quite like look of the last of the V90 estates. Maybe one day...

Happy memories of being ferried about in dad's venerable 940 saloon. And having my first "driving lesson" on holiday in Sweden in it.

Sad news to hear that Volvo are withdrawing Estates and Saloons from the UK market. #OldSchoolEstatesAreCool www.theguardian.com/business/2023/a…
