End of Term

Moonface has now finished her first half-term in her new job as head of Access courses, and she seems to have coped well. It's not been easy, it's been stressful, but she appears to have coped well. We think that her recent bout of under-the-weather-ness is probably a result of her having to manage new relationships and new activities every day, combined with a shorter daily walk instead of a longer cycle to work; she misses the cycling.

But I'm proud of her and pleased with the way she's taking the changes. One of her more disparaging ex-colleagues told her that it would be "a big job" with the imputation that she wouldn't cope. He was right about the former, wrong about the latter. Twenty-five reporting staff (some part-time) and a budget of a million quid is definitely a big job by any means; I've worked in companies with far fewer staff and less cash moving through. She's doing well, she will do better. And I look forward to seeing how it goes.
