On the perks of the job

My former colleague and I met for coffee today, and as ever the conversation turned to gossip/comparing notes--in the least salacious sense. Just in the past week:

• FP has asked for a reference for doctoral research
  
  
• RG got in touch to tell us about her new job at the OU
  
  
• JS had a bad time and dropped out; she's OK now and wants to complete the course
  
  
• JW asks if she can cite us as a reference for a new job; she moved 200 miles north about eight years ago

Keep it coming! It's what it is all about.
