Private Office Washup

It is now four days since I worked in the Home Secretary's Private Office.

I really enjoyed my three days covering there, but it was tough. The first day saw me feeling as if I was drowning, but by the end of the week I had begun to feel like I was getting a grip on some of the work.

The work left me mentally exhausted due to the need to keep up to date with every email and the contents of all documents going across my desk. But I got to feel as if I was making a small difference, and would be happy to work in PO again.

This week sees me on a training course, which is mentally taxing as it is covering Parliamentary and European workings, but it is at the National School of Government as there is, therefore, a lot of food.
