Nothing’s dead, they’ve just decided they like hanging out. Must’ve been another 20 hanging out other places.

#TodayAtWork i wasn’t on strike. Which was great cos I got a search for a #SystematicReview completed and removed duplicates from a large number of results.

I bought a shredder and got rid of years of paperwork. It was oddly satisfying.

So that brings us to today. Most of the morning taken up with preparing the report for the next trustees meeting. Proposed process for revision of safeguarding policy, revised trustee role description... Important long term but quite dull stuff
Then the big one, steering group. This is the monthly meeting of our partner charities which decides who we are going to house. Today was not unusual. 4 homeless clients and 3 vacancies. What do you do? The best you can.

I missed yesterday, which was mainly a mix of different meetings, some virtual, some IRL all of which increased my understanding somewhat. Also helped get ready to pay put the monthly destitution fund. Whats that? you may ask. Well...
People whose asylum appeal is refused in the UK [and ask me why this happens when you have time to spare] get evicted from their homes and left on the street with no income and no right to work. Hence the 'destitution' bit...
#TodayAtWork I spent most of the day updating a #SystematicReview search. I had a wee tour of other libraries to search some databases at the #BritishLibrary and #UCL. It’s a review for the #CUSSH project https://projectcussh.org/. I’ve done a few searches for projects associated with the #LSHTM Centre for Planetary Health and they’re all really interesting and fun to create searches for.

#TodayAtWork I had 1-2-1 meetings with my direct reports in the morning. This afternoon was fun: I co-hosted a session for Bodleian Library graduate trainee librarians on completing application forms and prepping for interviews. I was at home and the other presenter and the attendees were in a room in Oxford. It’s the first time I’ve been the hybrid person on a screen. It worked for a presentation and Q&A, group work was facilitated by my co-host in the room.
