A light and bitty day

Only a light and bitty day today.

Got confirmation of the date of the audit of the School of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy, which I am supposed to be chairing. Wrote to the audit secretary to complain that, as previously and despite my suggestions, we had once again been given too short a time to do the job as well as I would like.

Got confirmation that a temperature probe and data logger that I've been waiting for has arrived but needs to be set up by technical staff before it's ready for me to use.

Sorted out some little reassessment issues, wrote a short reference for a student, posted off Tim's fat thesis, helped Katie with a couple of WebCT queries, moaned at the administration about the stupid way they've formatted an important online document, continued to meddle and think about new structures for the online course resources, and reviewed last year's letter to incoming students for re-use this year.
