Mood:
Reason: "Hello, I am the pro bono officer here. Welcome to this lovely October evening and let me tell you about one of the work schemes we have in conjunction with the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University."
Cut to February.
"Welcome to this training session for this scheme. Rather than actually have a useful workshop to really make you aware of what you will be doing when you sign up for this particular pro bono project, I am just going to read off a Powerpoint presentation while you all feverishly write down notes. Anything else would be too much effort on my part! Okay, I'll contact you lot with more details and a rota sheet next week!"
Cut to mid-March and I email the guy twice. No reply.
Late March and I finally barge into the guy's office to ask whether the thing is even going ahead.
"I'll send you an email in the upcoming weeks".
Cut to late April. Nothing.
Yup. Worthless. I'm going to make a complaint. I understand that plans made waaaaay earlier in the academic year may not always come to fruition and this was entirely contingent on circumstances, but at the very least he should COMMUNICATE to us. The guy simply cannot be arsed.
