I am now at the stage of having administration work to deal with, proving that the project really exists. “Without paperwork, there is no reality. Discuss.”
At the workshop last week, we were excited and beguiled by the wealth of online resources available to users of the University library. Eighteenth century documents online! Mediaeval documents online!! As much fun as searching through the Stack Room, and considerably less smelly. But of course, you need an Athens password, and mine expired years ago. So today I have filled in the application form and hope to be accepted back into the ranks of official University hangers-on.
I am hoping to be paid, too, but haven’t had the paperwork for that yet. I just hope I can remember where I left my P45. Do they still call it that? I have found old payslips from years back, but nothing recent. Must be filed elsewhere. On the floor, perhaps.
