The first week of a new admin person starting has always been a little hectic, and last week was no different as Rhian started properly on Wednesday. There is a lot to learn, and however much I try to cover initially, there are so many questions that have to be asked and answered, and the result is that I end up having very broken days, trying to get my own work done in between questions. It really helps that Rhian is also a tutor, because she’s already very aware of how things work from the tutors’ side.
In truth, Rhian starting work or not, the new year is always very busy for me. I spend a lot of time over Christmas doing admin, and I had quite a few articles to write last week to ensure that we’re keeping up adding tutoring content to the website.
Having said all that, I did get a fair amount done towards the end of the week. I continued to assess the difficulty of all of our qualification types, as task that Harriet and I started before Christmas, and I did a little more work on online tuition. In a couple of weeks I’m meeting with the friend that’s helping me to create our online platform, and I still need to do a few things before then. We’re hopefully going to finalise the new design for the current site, as well as the online tuition section, and I need to write a few webpages so that we can see the design working on a real page. It shouldn’t take too long to be honest, but it’s a lot of working with Javascript, so you never can tell.
