From the 14th:

Since i did nothing on my TMA Monday night, i wrote 300 words last night. This keeps me up to my target of a hundred words a night, because i'm doing a quiz with work tonight.

I also spoke to Lindsay's friend who is doing the same course as me, but is in another tutor group. She is not managing very well. Her last assignment received a mark of 25 percent, so Lindsay wanted me to encourage her.

well, it turns out that she didn't listen to the cassette which basically said how to do the assignment, she doesn't watch the TV programmes and hasn't been to her last four tutorials. No wonder she's having trouble. Apparently her style is too informal, and she is having trouble sticking to the question (understandable if she doesn't have the information that she needs).

I said i would meet up with her next week and see what I can do to help...

Having a bit of a day at work. My team leader arranged a meeting with a team leader from one of our 3rd party suppliers. I came up with the agenda and asked him if there was anything he wanted adding to it, he said no and that i should run with it and think of anything else. Today, the day of the meeting, he was in another meeting which over ran, so i went and informed him of the time and he said that he wouldn't be able to make it. So, since i was supposed to be running with it...i did!

He then came out of his meeting, found out that i had the original meeting and had a bit of a go at me, saying that he had told me to cancel the meeting (which he hadn't), and that if he couldn't make a meeting he had arranged it should be cancelled.

No point me running with it then.

I live and learn.
