I found out yesterday that the possible new PhD student has definitely got the place. So I have two actual adults whose whole lives and careers I will be responsible for for the next 3 years, come September. Scary. Plus the second one will be doing a project that I really want to get done - following up some kids we've already seen - and which I applied for loads and loads of money to do, a month ago - but I won't hear about till November. So that is a huge load off my mind in many ways.

I went in this morning to make an appointment for a haircut on Friday, and was told I could have it done immediately - it was 9am and I have to be at work till 6 today so I didn't see any need to hurry in, and went ahead with it. I don't know if I'm particularly useless at hair, but I always just want the hairdresser to do "something that suits me" and I never know how much I want off this bit, whether I want wavy or curly here, and where my parting goes. We discussed whether The Spouse™ would notice I'd had it done, and agreed he probably wouldn't - she told me about when she went from black hair to blonde hair and her boyfriend asked if she'd had her fringe cut... But then my head of department noticed the haircut so perhaps it's a bit more obvious than I thought.

If, however, he's read it on here he gets no brownie points at all. I don't know his IP address at work or on his smartphone, though, so I can't necessarily check up on him... actually I've just noticed you can't see the IP address of my visitors anyway... perhaps he'll give himself away and make a comment...
