Progress at last
It finally feels like bog is back on track. It took a while to get over the debacle with my former employer. At least now I have a regular income and a workplace with structure, as opposed to constant firefighting & having no idea if/when invoices for work would be paid. Though obviously it is tough trying to make bog fit round formal work.
So, this week I had a great meeting with Mark from Eco3. I’m enrolled on training they are delivering to help me design bog in the most sustainable fashion possible & we spoke about possible funding for design work. It was also nice to spend time with someone who is knowledgeable & passionate about what they do.
I also attended the ‘women who’ event at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, and met many interesting women - including a private detective, a woman who project manages the building of stadium (plural?), a representative from National Trust and an old work colleague.
I’m pleased to say I’ve continued cycling to work - though the last 24 hours have included 1 fall, 1 broken light & 1 pair of ripped trousers. The journey is getting faster, though it still tires me out too much. I’m hoping my body will adapt to all the exercise soon.
Yesterday I put in a response to a call for papers from SustainabilityLIVE. It’s about improving the eco impact of a large organisation by offering a short online training session via their intranet, resulting in a certificate. Fingers crossed, we’ll be able to run the project and then present the results - including a ‘how to’ so that similar projects can be implemented by other large organisations. If this works I think that the whole temping experience will have been well worth while.
