We staged the unawards and gave away 15 awards. It was an occaion to celebrate but also to connect.

There’s a good line about no-one listening to the Prophet in their own land.
I love it because it’s true.
My last job was working in an Edwardian Town Hall. It was as a proud declaration of civic pride built on hardwork and the town’s leather industry. On the outside there were gargoyles carved into the stonework and broad carpeted stairs that led to oak doors of meeting rooms. Inside those public rooms there were fire places and portraits of long forgotten dignitaries.
Visitors impressed would quietly tell me how it must be lovely to work in such a building.
I suppose it is, I’d tell them.
What happens day-to-day gets taken for granted and overlooked. It’s human nature.
