This year, the dissertation presentations would be on a Monday and Tuesday. And I didn't want to work during the weekend. So I would have to make sure that at least for Monday, everything would be ready by Friday.
On Thursday I got quite a lot done, but it did mean I left the office so late I missed Thursday Night Hill training. And when I got to my bike I realised I had a flat tire. That made me get home even later!
On Friday I managed to get everything done for the Monday. For Tuesday, quite a lot was done. I had finished 6 out of 8 conference booklets. I could finish the rest on Monday morning. And I had printed quite a lot of marking sheets and feedback sheets. That would at least get me through the Tuesday morning.
I would have to do a bit of downloading presentation slides, and putting them in the right folders on OneDrive. But that's a rather quick process. That would also fit on Monday morning. I didn't have to actually attend any presentations until Monday afternoon. And on Tuesday I didn't have to attend any of them.
I was hoping to finish the day with an ice cream with my Italian colleagues, but these ended up stuck in a meeting. So I just went home. And I had faith it was going to be ok!
I would have to be there quite early on the Monday. I would have liked to get all the rooms ready on Friday, but unfortunately, there would be an open day during the weekend, and that used several of the same rooms. So I couldn't get the paperwork ready. But plonking some piles of printouts in some rooms isn’t a big job, and after that I think everything will be on a roll. I will find out!
