The person chairing the meeting says my questions are rubbish so how about using his instead? I have no problem with this, except I wish he’d told me his ideas in the first place; it would have saved me a lot of thinking. Meanwhile, I have been getting on with many other Important Things. Like, reading up about the scarily talented people we will be interviewing for the IPReg Chair position tomorrow. Like, negotiating over access to recordings of the namby-pamby unconscious bias webinars. Like, trying to reassure people who are cross about the arctic conditions at the EQEs the other week. Like, helping to decide the right price for the new administrators’ course. And finding a venue for our next diversity round table. And liaising with the Yorkshire regional rep about the next happy hour, this being an urgent issue because it is a full four days since the Yorkshire folk last got together for drinks at CIPA’s expense. There are also emails about a launch event for the latest Black Book edition, and CIPA’s official position on Brexit, and a Journal article on the Patent Box Nexus Fraction nightmare, and all manner of other stuff that has left me thoroughly muddled. It seems the CIPA Pee must be everybody’s friend but must teeter perpetually on the brink of being most people’s enemy. When it gets to the point where I am writing emails about a Black Book Nexus Fraction Brexit Interview Launch, under arctic conditions at a venue yet to be confirmed, I know it is time to log off. Perhaps I should have done so three hours ago.
