The Friday Five on a Sunday

[nanila]

1. What made you happy this week?
   
   Notification of winning a small summer research grant.
   
   
2. What made you sad?
   
   I was disappointed in a colleague for trying to conceal some serious underperformance when it could have been dealt with easily much earlier on. As it is, now another colleague and I are going to have to put in a lot of effort to attempt to rectify the situation before a deadline next week.
   
   
3. What made you angry?
   
   An academic colleague being outrageously disrespectful to a professional services colleague.
   
   
4. What are you looking forward to in the next week?
   
   Getting that sad piece of work, which should not have been mine in the first place, off my desk at the end of the week.
   
   
5. What are you not looking forward to?
   
   I have to be off-campus for two days next week. I'm not looking forward to the amount of meetings I've had to ram into the other three days of the working week.
