Reluctantly back from vacation - and a quick business trip to a freezing UK - Retroid is pleased to see Cassandra continues as she left off in 2008. Viva! person who is not believed, viva! Keep up with the Monday cats and dogs; my daughter is a fan. And Transplant_Ed: more Fridays, please!
And otherwise, it's back to same digestive leavings, different year...I had vowed to be positive this year, but 40 minutes in the HoD's office listening to the catalogue of woes that has accumulated in lo! just these last two weeks, was...depressing.
So let's be positive: it's still summer, there are no undergraduates here - and the way the trees bend outside means the southeaster is pumping, it's time to bring the sailboard in to work again like I used to...hah! You thought I meant about work, didn't you??
Fat chance: the climate survey last year showed the outlook to be grey; I see no change on the horizon. I shall get my joy from inside my own group, and - outside.
Have a good 2009, all!
