Week Notes - "Someone tell me what the hell is going on here?"

I mentioned in my previous weeknotes that a change was coming⁰. I've left the Civil Service. I've started my new consultancy. And now... I've got a new job!

A previous regeneration saw me catapulted into the world of health tech at NHSX. Then another saw me go to data. Then over to cyber. And now…

Just like an unexpected¹ David Tennant coming back for a few episodes, I'm coming back to health again!

I've joined Our Future Health as their Principal Privacy Architect².

The first four days have been spent getting my IT set up, meeting as many people as I can, finding good food stalls near the office³, and learning all about the unique set of challenges they face.

And on the fifth day? I rested.

Yup, I've joined the ranks of the four-day-a-week-ers. My Fridays will be spent on working for my consultancy clients, play in VR, working on my upcoming book⁴, catching up on all the Steam games I've bought and the library books I've earmarked, learning how to use a laser cutter, and - of course - making sure dinner is on the table when my hard-working wife gets home from the office.

Of course, this blog remains personal. I'm not going to be talking about the work I do here - but find me at a conference talk, or stalk me on LinkedIn, and you'll get a good idea of what's going on.

As for this Friday? I mostly intend to watch this Doctor Who trailer on repeat.
