Tensions - the past week at work

Monday

Responses to the mailshot have come in steadily, and I spent the morning analysing them and writing a briefing paper.

Tuesday


Tensions between the Reading Room staff (Gary and Matthew) and the Research team led by Abi Reed.  Abi wanted to look through the locked filing cabinets.  I would quite like to look through them myself.

Wednesday

A confidential meeting with a small group of volunteers who want to carry out a particular campaign.  I told them they should have more confidence.  One has to take risks sometimes. 

Thursday

A quiet day.  I talked to Deputy Director Marcia Walsh about the mess Head Office seemed to be in.  She revealed the Institute had received a big donation from a London dentist.

Friday

Another day spent working at home on Alec Nussbaum’s project.  He always rings me just after 9, presumably to check whether I am working or not.  My task is to produce scenarios and come up with ideas and angles.
