Thursday check-in

[forthwritten]

So how's everyone doing?

I had an induction day in my new department despite being a third year and it was somewhat annoying - wish I'd known about the Arts Graduate Centre when I started, but I've now got a job through someone there, I managed to track down my supervisor, had my Annual Review which was surprisingly positive, had training for another job I'm starting and am now doing a week's full-time work back at my old department. In my free time (hah) I'm organising stuff for the LGBT network. Apparently there's this thesis I'm supposed to be working on too...

I can't be the only one doing a juggling act like this. I've come to rely on my filofax - what do you do to ensure you're at the right place at th right time on the right day?

Yahoo agenda sends me an e-mail every morning with the list of things I have to do that day AND another e-mail 15 minutes before the event actually begins (because yes, I can forget something I have been reminded on the morning. In fact, I can forget something I have been reminded one hour before. In one hour, you can seat, have a coffee and begin to read or to write an article, wonder where you put that data you collected the month before, wasn't it on a box on the second shelf, or maybe in the cupboard ? bloody hell this is a table I draw last week and I forgot to include in my paper ! hey, why is my coffee cold ? didn't I have something to do, I can't remember ? Oh, if I forgot, that wasn't important. Probably.)
This service saves my life.
But it's been ages I haven't received an e-mail about social life.
