How's the new academic year so far?

Just that.

My place has decided to "rebrand" so we have to use different letterhead etc. But it's not available ...

We also have the most ridiculous new travel policy. I'm not supposed to book my own trains, even though I can book tickets more quickly & cheaply than the university's travel agent. I still do, as I control my own research budget up to a certain amount.

Ya reckon??

Amen to everything on the travel agents and the organizational clusterfuck front. The lights in my office and in most of my floor haven't worked for more than two weeks, and Facilities does f*ck all. With the days getting shorter and darker, soon I won't be able to use my office at all.

@aridapricot None of the plugs were working in a large section of my floor yesterday. And there was no fresh water at one point, i.e. the tap just didn’t run. ‘World class’ indeed…
