So back to work
And my first full day in my new, pretty quiet and not entirely warm office. We still have no phones, but it seems that BT are working on it(not sure how hard it is to put the lines in seeing as there were phone lines in our office before the previous occupants moved out, but what do I know? The fact that the building is not occupied by too many people will probably turn out to be a good thing as it means I will be able to get more done (I hope) and have made a good start today by getting about 100 emails answered / dealt with / deleted. I have also finished off a paper on the supervision framework which we will be launching on Wednesday and put together a flyer for some change management session we are holding at the end of next month. The latter wouldn’t usually be my job but the person who usually does such things is now in Australia!
The building seems to be a very cold one, certainly it is from where I sit; more clothes needed tomorrow I think! Still it makes you get up and move around a bit more than you might otherwise do.
I found out today that 2 more of my team have received their agenda for change banding, and this means that they are just 3 incremental points below my salary! I think though that it may give me more ammunition for my appeal as it cannot be right for us all to be paid the same when it is I who manages the budget, manages the team and carries the can. But hey what is new in the NHS?
