L’absence…

October 15, 2008 · Leave a Comment

September and October are the busiest times for those of us in Disability services in higher education establishments, and these months have been B.U.S.Y.

This is a very positive thing of course and the intake of students is wonderful, getting us ever-closer to the levels we should be at.

On the downside, I’ve got no time to blog about the less-pressing matters!

Normal service shall be restored as soon as all these needs assessments, form-filling, box-ticking, rationale creating, everything in triplicate stuff is done with.

But maybe then I’ll want a holiday!

PS: The winner of the name our new home competition was Ann O’Brien, my boss, whose suggestion ‘MAP Lodge’ emerged victorious from an intriguing selection! Thanks to all who made suggestions!
