'Review' meeting with the Head this morning. Don't recall these (except when had formal appraisals that were never quite yearly) from 'TheOldPlace' but perhaps it's only a feature of being new here. It was apparently just to check everything was ok and as it was soon degenerated into side-tracks of very specific issues I would never have planned on raising.

Still, it seemed to fit a pattern of induction and training and general 'welcomeness' that leaves me feeling a warm, fuzzy glow of something. Not entirely sure what, but the experience was certainly positive.
