Friday - 'I Heart Soho'

I get into the Wardour Street office by 8.30 and to keep things fresh I decide not to work on the requirements analysis today.  Instead, I continue a volumetrics model that I’ve previously been creating for an upcoming workshop.  This model details the amount of data flowing through the infrastructure components and will eventually be used to inform component sizing.

At mid-day I sit in on an internal lunchtime presentation provided by a member of the Marketing capability unit.  The presentation is on the benefits of a market research tool and is a nice break before lunch where some friends and I grab a bite to eat from one of the many nearby takeaways – a benefit of having an office in the heart of Soho.

I spend the afternoon building the volumetrics model and at 16.00 I attend a MySkills session on Excel hints and tips.  This is the session I’ve been organising in my stream work and I am delighted to see such a large turnout from the CDC – 24 in total!  This is also a great time to network with my intake as I don’t get to see them during the week.

The session finishes at 17.15 and having learnt some useful Excel tricks I pack up and go down to the Slug and Lettuce (which is under the office) with many other CDCers – the working week is over!
