Our Department Secretary has just told me that in the staff meeting this morning (which I missed, oh dear how sad never mind) they agreed that from next academic year I can do my tutorials (5 in total) over 2 days rather than having just one per day. Which means that it will be easier to occasionally work from home, or attend conferences without facing a timetable rescheduling nightmare, or really get into a block of work without then having to stop what I'm doing to go to the tutorial (or not, as the case may be - see last week's blog :o). At the moment I have to come in every single day, and on Thursday and Friday the tutorial is the only thing I have to be here for, so it's a bit galling to currently have to do over 3 hours of travelling just to be in uni for an hour. Very pleased that they saw my point. (It may even mean that I could get a part-time job, but I'll need to be careful to remember to factor in enough time for my research. But it's something to think about)
I went to the gym today, but undid all my good work after a fight with the photocopier (I lost). I was so cheesed off I went and bought some chocolate. Whoops. I keep meaning to give up chocolate but I think I left my willpower in London.
