A few important decisions

Friday, 3^rd March

So I went to the University today, there had been a change of staff, the request to enrol me on the course had been missed in the handover, they sorted it immediately. I wanted to meet with Mr Granat to disclose my involvement with the club. It had suddenly occurred to me that it might become knowledge and reflect badly on me, some institutions need their staff to disclose outside business interests. Mr Granat said it was good of me to disclose it, he did not see a problem, but it was better to know it in advance in case someone, a student, a parent, a colleague, a member of the governing board, would find offence. Basically my private life should not interfere with my academic life, but I'd rather it was out there. I also mentioned that I am considering going back to work at the hospital, but that the plan is for me to work around my duties at the university, and again he said that was perfectly ok., most specialities are being taught by working doctors, and they prefer it that way. He gave me some more details of the dates, and the curriculum I have to teach, so I can prepare my classes. He said I am very welcome to come and sit in some lectures, to get tips how to do it, and nearer the time I will have an induction and a training session on the technology.

Tonight is our official opening, I am not in the mood for it. Maybe I am coming down with a cold, I feel a bit lethargic. I had a long night on Wednesday, I just cannot get excited about tonight. It feels we opened on Wednesday, so why do it again tonight? We have some press there, and some people have even travelled from abroad, it is only a bar! Ok, we have a professional DJ, and Kristoffer's girlfriend and some mates are doing a show (which they suggested to us, they did not want any money, but we still gave them a donation). Our own dance troupe will perform tomorrow night. I guess we will be expected to be there tomorrow as well, no!! I have had a busy few days and would rather spend some quality time with Ben in the playroom, we have been rather busy the last few weeks, and there has not been much time for a good session. He did get a session in his sleep sack in the living room on Monday, and we both enjoyed it, but it was a quiet evening in.
