Still getting the occasional post from the new place. This one asking if I had a preference for one of three 'watching briefs' I will be taking. Disabled students / college students / placement students.

Apparently there are a fair number of the latter in my faculty so I think I'll go with the suggestion of taking that.

On a separate note, I'm already being referred to by my boss-to-be by my initials which seems quite friendly and relaxed. As I was asked in a previous email by someone else whether I preferred my full name or an abbreviation of it, (Gaz or variations thereof really ought to be saved for the fuel tank) I admitted to preferring my proper name or initials.
