Morning K,
Not bad. Except - brace yourselves - I have to go to a meeting off-site so I'll be gone for a whole 2 hours at least. I'm a little scared, it's been a while since I left my office.

Congrats on the flight! So it's all about to become very real then - how exciting!
Yes, I've got to go and charm the birds from the trees, otherwise known as attempting to secure teaching rooms in a new faculty building. Our department may be part of the university, but the university seems to forget this when we can't pay as much as the big corporate conferences that we are up against. So I need to come up with some good reasons as to why allowing us to use their teaching space at a massive loss to them is a good idea

Now there's a thought....
The trouble with the lot I deal with down at the faculties is that they're all fusty university females, the type that have worked here forever (another reason to get out pronto, in my view).
There is hope though - the head honcho is my old director of studies so I'm halfway there already. I'm fairly sure he'll want to give his rooms away to someone he knows rather than a big multinational corporation offering to pay 10 times more than I can

anyway, shouldnb't you have priority over these corps. since your work in actually uni related?, thought the hiring out when to generate extra income when no one was actually using them.

Our work isn't just uni-related - it is part of the university! We are as much a faculty as they are, it's just that we don't have the teaching space up here so we have to hire it.
And G - I'm fast becoming one of those fusty battleaxes!

It wouldn't be the first time. I've secured 4 new faculties in the last 3 years.

I start with charm and fluttering my eyelashes (although this occasionally distracts the opposition because they're a bit long). Then I go in for the kill. If that doesn't work I start looking sorrowful and rambling on about our scholarship fund and how we all work for peanuts.....
