All alone in the Level 2 office

The University is planning a big refurb of Levels 2 and 3 over this summer, bringing those levels up to the standard that was set by the amazing redevelopment of Level 4 last summer. This of course means that the staff offices have to be vacated.  If you are having a major redevelopment done and the floor is closed to everyone, it would be slightly unreasonable to expect the staff to abseil into the offices through the rather small windows!

We've know that this was coming for some time and have been getting ready, throwing things away, sorting things out, packing up.

And on Friday, moving people came and moved all the staff from our office into a bright, sunny, shiny office near the coffee shop on Level 4.



All the staff, except me ;-(  There's no room for me in the new office.  I am left, a little oasis of life, in an otherwise abandoned and deserted landscape.



(There are still some students out on the floor, and Peter is still in his office next door, but it is definitely very quiet in the office all on my own.  Even quieter given that I don't have a printer now, or even a working telephone.)

I am obviously going to have to hone my abseiling skills!!

(Or move with Peter, next Friday, up into a little, sunny, bright office up on Level 7, pro tem)
