Today I grappled with communications policies and cheese-bread

I didn’t make resolutions this New Year because I knew I’d not keep to them, then feel bad about it and give up. One that I didn’t make was to blog more; as I didn’t make it I can’t feel bad about it, so I’m not giving up: I’m starting it now.

My lack of blogging usually boils down to feeling overwhelmed by having to dream up something interesting to write. But this is my weblog, right? Why do its posts need to be interesting? And besides, nothing at all is even less interesting to read.

And it’s not that I don’t do anything: most days I run out of time, so evidently they’re being filled up with something.

So I’m going to try and force myself to jot down some of the unintersting things that I do, just in case someone wants to read them. If you think they’re a waste of your prescious time, you know what to do: something else.

Today, then, I struggled with a piece of work that I need to finish. The problem is one of knowing where to draw the line: should I call it a day when it’s good enough, or spend more time on getting it right? “Call it a day!” I hear you cry. Unfortunately it’s an attempt to enforce communications guidelines in an organisation, which need to be as clear and user-friendly as possible if they’re to be accepted, digested and understood by colleagues. The line has to be drawn somewhere though.

I then helped Libby and Nikki make an Anglicised version of Georgian cheese bread (I’m not going to attempt it’s real name here):

Two tiers of Georgian-style cheese bread

After that I came home, worked on some other communcations-related stuff for a deadline tomorrow, watched CSI then went to bed.

And that’s where I am now, about to read another chapter of Jasper Fforde’s new novel Shades of Grey.

Good night.
