And so this evening I find myself sitting in a freezing cold room at The Manor again. My mood has not much improved as the day has progressed and I am not impressed to be spending my Sunday evening here I just text one of my friends who has a car and thus doesn’t need to travel down until tomorrow morning, and we have made a pact together not to do the pre-course work. It only just actually occurred to me that there might be pre-course work, since no one had emailed me to request I do it. I dutifully logged into the relevant part of our intranet and downloaded it, but once I’d read a fraction of it, I decided I wasn’t going to do it. It is far too late and too cold to be calculating overhead absorption rates. Having a Maths degree, I am not very good at sums at the best of times anyway So yeah, I text my friend to ask if she had done the pre-course work and was suitably encouraged when she replied, “No, what’s the course actually on?” (more…)
