Tales from the CDG Tardis

Anything for a free lunch

Feeling more sluggish than Malfoy… could it be the after effects of the burger and chips I got free for helping out with the intensive summer school? Should never have followed this with a blueberry Geobar. It’s slightly scary that the new batch of students were born in the 1990s. I am not officially Past It.

It’s fitting then that my mental distraction (everyone should have one of these on a Friday afternoon!) is coming up with a songlist for the guys. Let’s not call ourselves a band. More a motley crew of three guys whose wives want them out from under their feet occasionally, plus one more guy and his wife (moi) who’s stupid enough to go along and attempt to screech vocals over their combined racket. Latest plot is for everyone to suggest half a dozen songs, we agree a common list and work on those. But what to suggest…?

Suppliers have all crept out from under their stones this morning. One little victory – finally get new resource up and running. This will save on aggrieved phone calls from the engineers. Villain of the dfay is the company who seem to think we belong in the same pricing tier as institutions four or five times our size. Er, how?

Tomorrow will be rolling up sleeves and tackling the final revisions to the draft CDG Strategy. After which I shall have earned something red and fermented.
