what the dickens

I have no interest in the whole damn conference organising. I do not have the organisation gene! If I did I might have become a conference organiser. I am still a fledging academic can't aI learn to do that part well without having to do this as well. APrt form that our draconian admisntrator and her good buddy the silver fox seem to think that admin is the core business of all academic institutions and make all the decision, ight down to which typist we get to things. This is all getting out of hand, Our school is run by a specialist on Dickens! They are novels!Tey are not guides to contemporary management practices.
