Campus beauty shot, taken from the Henriette Raphael walkway.

Managed to get my butt on the bike to drop off a covid study test before work, on the logic that the roads were at least mostly dry; it was still maybe 27 degrees, and I haven't really shaken off the chill all day. Should have worn an extra layer on my legs!

Been a weird week; too many people too busy to get back to me with input or sign-off on my ongoing projects, so I picked up some extra wee projects, worked ahead as much as I could, and fielded bursts of last-minute panicked requests. Just before I signed off, a central colleague circulated a multi-position recruitment opp - for more direct student support, a grade up from my current level, and one of the positions would be supporting my current faculty. It'd have a lot of the pastoral elements I miss from my first academia job...hmmm.

Definitely going to throw my hat in the ring for this one. 'Course, that means I have to consult with my manager for approval (which is awkward but she'll give it), and then, ugh, update my cv for the last year, and start writing the ridiculously long and detailed personal statement required, and work myself into the anxious wreck I always turn into around job hunting...still. Worth a shot, anyway.
