“It’s all kicking off!”

Arrived home this evening with a million and one things going round my head. Spent some of the day dealing with train and air travel, always guaranteed to bring out my sunny side. Why does stuff have to be so complicated? Why does it take so long to get everywhere? Why don’t teleports exist? Then again can you imagine a CDG TARDIS - I could arrive at any event in history or have to advise someone about an ancient qualification…

Go to meet with a member of academic staff, planning to update her on our external review of information literacy. We want to get more inclusion at strategic level. Discover the whole programme for two major subject areas is being completely rewritteen - this sounds like a golden opportunity except that we already have substantial IL involvement in these programmes and now we may have to fight our corner all over again. What looked like a quiet week is now full of meetings, which I am warned may involve arguments.

Go home, put the washing on, feed the kittycats and then eke out an hour’s effort for CDG. I’m trying to write papers for our National Council, particularly a tricky one on financial sustainability. Want to tell it like it is but be positive and affirming at the same time.
