My favourite phrase from my new job has to be "duck alignment" - time spent updating to-do lists, keeping (digital) files tidy, and planning the week ahead. Enjoying today's sat outside - perfect, except no real-life 🦆 in sight! #NewJob #RemoteWork #ProjectManagement

The latest Telegraph headline stack is like found poetry. Truly you couldn't have dreamed up a better juxtaposition if you tried. Doom, gloom, and hollow Brexit cheerleading. The perfect trifecta. Magnificent.
