ANR Adventures

A few months ago I was surprised when we saw no increase in our state funding because campuses did see increases. Yes, I knew it was possible because there was no conversation about increasing the OP budget and, after all, we are a line item in the OP budget. Nevertheless, I remained optimistic.

Which button do I push to have someone else do my work for me while I'm on vacation? I have been back a week now. Despite reading and responding to email while I was away, I just finished addressing all of the emails. I spent the weekend catching up.

I said good-bye, for now' to the Great Australian Bight. It wasn't easy but it was time to get back to work. Travel turned out to be a bit hectic but everything worked out in the end.

We've moved on to our second destination, leaving Perth behind. The only clue I have to provide for our new location is that we are in a different time zone, an hour and a half away. This might be the first time I have experienced a half time zone'.

I'm on vacation this week. So far, it has been convenient to keep up with email because I can connect once a day and get through emails quickly. Then connect again, if and when I wish. This helps avoid having piles of email to plow through upon my return.
