Whilst I was away, my paying project has gone from: "Very delayed, pending extensive input from overworked academic - and nothing agreed about paying me!" to "Top priority, final draft needed a week on Friday - and you're a 'casual staff member' at The University on an hourly rate." Just had a very productive telecon with the project lead.
So: Lunch, then two hours burning the phone lines to chase up some civil servants, then dinner and much permaculture natter with N :-)
