happy easter

[lobelia321]

I'm off to see my sister for the Easter holidays and have taken 'annual leave'. I've never needed to take 'annual leave' before. Academics generally just tend to bugger off when they don't have teaching. But the adhod must sign off formally! Or I'd never get a moment's rest. I have been:

• writing a report on the introduction of new mathematically-calibrated feedback coversheets (and why we don't want them)
• checking timetable rooming forms and staff constraints
• chasing up colleagues to send me the above
• attended a meeting entitled, I kid you not, R&IP
• bought presents for all nine members of the Easter family
• organised the selling of the house
• staged the house for purpose of the above
&bull, bought catfood
• written and sent off a paper on genre painting
• collated 80 essays for marking over Easter
• created two databases for purposes of timetabling
• tried to wade through my emails, not succeeding in ever getting beyond the first page
• done other stuff that I now can't remember because I'm too busy/tired/running around

I seem to have a life. Of sorts. How did this happen? *looks around in bafflement*

Some might say, of course, 'wot? rooming forms you call a life? hah!' And those some have a point. Yet...! I am not depressed.

Well, I think this all sounds Good! :)

Sometimes I see lists like these on my flist and wonder, who are these efficient wimmins out there? And now I made a list like that myself, egads.

Also: a new Dr Who? A new scriptwriter? wot think u??

New Doctor Who is Good! It all looks a little bit fresh and different and I'm enjoying it. :)

This is my new method of replying to your comments by the way - when you post, I remember to hunt through your journal for the last thing I said to you.

Aha. So you do not reply to the actual post but to some long-gone post'o'the'past that you have laboriously to hunt through?

Okay. Sounds logical to me.

Also, I messaged you on Facebook! There is no guarantee I will look there again until about August, but still.

Have not seen new doctor but am worried about new scriptwriter who is not Scriptman Of Wonder (whose name I, of course, promptly forgot as soon as I wrote this sentence -- Don someone or other??).

I watched Noo Who! Episode about the space whale. I liked the idea of that space whale; very Hitchhiker's Guide. Have to get used to under-aged Doctor, though, and pubescent assistant.
