rosa_heartlilyA year ago I was glad I'd gone to church, tidying up in the back garden, watching Dancing on Ice, enjoying the new area in Secret Cat Forest (which still isn't complete), and downloading the app for the solar panels.
Today I did a sketchy timeline for KTTK as a starter for 10. It gives me a rough idea of what Jerrick and each of the three women (and therefore their male companions) are doing at the same time. This will help with the chapters and character pov's for each of the books.
I had to go into the office today because the AI Academy was launching. We were fed and then squeezed into what was probably expected to be a large-enough room but wasn't - and then had to move to a lecture theatre. A colleague and I agreed it would have been better doing it all on the ground floor. But I am now officially a member of the first AI Academy cohort - personally selected, no less!
One of the PMs was trying to give their project updates using my Power BI reports but firstly the data wouldn't appear and then when I got it on screen it was showing out of date information! I spent some time fighting with it to no avail, so I've booked a meeting with the Power BI dev for later in the week. I shouldn't have to keep redoing the reports - unless I've actually made changes to the reports themselves! I don't know if Power BI is fussy, or it's something in the data itself that keeps making it skew. Whatever it is, it's bloody annoying.
We had tea and then I headed over to church for PCC, which was friendly and at a good pace, but still took 2 hours. And I forgot someone's name... BUT I'm not the Secretary, I'm not the only person involved in Safeguarding, and someone else has agreed to share the HPL PCC with me - so the responsibilities are shared.
And now to bed!
