Well, I guess it’s all for the best in the long run. I mean it’s never been easy with all of us spread out over the city. And then there are different phone lines. Half the time when I am answering calls they’ve come to the wrong branch. Then there are the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city or even this country before. It’s no wonder they are late. They don’t know how to find their way round. But this way, when all the changes are over and we’ve settled down in the new building, we’ll be easier to get to. So I reckon they’ll get here more promptly. And then they won’t have any excuse any more for coming in late and missing lectures.

I can’t say I really understand why they’re doing it. I mean it’s all these buildings, all this equipment. You know, it seems they’re organized as it is. It’s got to be money, hasn’t it? That’s why we’re all here in the lecturess-keep costs under control. Of course, lots of us are late for class sometimes, and I know that’s bad, and embarrassing-walking in when every one else is already in their place and its all started ages ago. But I do think it’s a bit worrying that it will surely mean some of them are going to lose out. I mean they wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t recognize they would save some salaries, would they?
