Appointment


Yesterday was a good day. Not only did I get a clean bill of health, but I heard via the grapevine that I have been appointed and Adjunct Professor for a period of at least three years.

That's useful because it provides me with access to library and IT facilities, office space, secretarial support, a lap-top computer and technical backup, stationery supplies, and technical support in working up consultancy and research grant applications.

I'm actually working on an $80K consultancy application today with a business school colleague, Bernice Kotey (an Afro-American). The money is coming from an organisation called the Cotton Catchment Communities Cooperative Research Centre (CCCCRC), but I know next to nothing about producing cotton. The project involves extensive travel in interesting parts of NSW and Queensland.

Congratulations Dad!! That's great news. Another 3 years of work... I take it you will be able to relax a little? Surely you wont have to keep working as hard as you have been?
