A week of questions
A combo of things have limited my weeknote content this week. Another three day week and I’ve been doing a lot of stuff that’s not actually great open working fodder. I think even the greatest advocate of transparency would would agree safeguarding and HR are not for the public platform… So I’m going with a mash up of Emily’s questions template + the day by day template.
