Meeting this morning with my immediate boss. Just checking up on me really. I guess my former boss would do the same, but probably less formally.

She's off to Australia for a month though so this was just to make sure I was ok and had things to do. No shortage of things, I could assure her. 'specially since she persuaded me to make the joint presentation on info literacy which seems to be taking on a life of its own.

But what is this effect on the boss? Previous one was just about to run off to the Mediterranean, this one's off to Oz... almost as bad my parents hearing I was returning from two years abroad and deciding to go to Brazil for seven years!
