I learned late on that a good friend from back in Manchester has been rushed to hospital after what his wife describes as a mild heart attack. Rather sad news. I have sent him a get well soon card. I went to do some of my voluntary work. I expected conflict with the management lady who told me yesterday that I had to do assignments for her rather than attending an important meeting I already had booked and planned. I had ended up pointing out that as a volunteer and not paid styaff any such choices are mine. She never said a word about this but she did rudely snap at me that I was forbidden to wait in the usual volunteering office as it is in the process of being closed and relocated. I only sat in there as usual as there was no notice up to say it was out of bounds or designated unsafe. Her snappy attitude was obviously just due to the e-mail war she lost the previous day. She could have told me without such a needlessly aggressive outburst. The assignments went well. Helping the new medical students was very pleasant and in the afternoon I went to the meeting I had planned to go to all along, getting final instructions for the work needed for the film festival that dominates next week. We got a tour of the new office facility the volunteer group will be in (a different building but still on the university campus). There wasn't much to see as it is just an empty office block until the furniture is all moved in there in the next few days. Youtube - Pink Floyd - We Don't Need No Education Arthur Chappell
