Ola!
Forest Gump was onto something there. The variety and diversity of this job is what makes it so exciting but is also what makes it so challenging. Every day is different and requires a different collection of brain cells to manage each situation appropriately.
I've spent most of the last few days working on my objectives, representing Nursing and Midwifery students to their governing bodies, nationally representing us as Sheffield Union to the Aldwych group (the Students' Unions of the Russell Group Unis) who met in Southampton last Friday and showing some ex-students around the Union building.
(As an aside, these weren't any ordinary ex-students. They were a group of friends who started uni here in 1957 and have met up every year since then, sometimes two or three times a year. This year was their 50th anniversary so they returned to Sheffield for the weekend and I showed them round. A fine group of people and I greatly enjoyed showing them round. It has of course changed beyond recognition since then and they were all pretty astounded by the change)
But the thing I am most excited by at the moment is the forthcoming Students' Union Council elections. It's such an exciting prospect to have a directly elected body to oversee my work, create policy and shape the direction of this fantastic Students' Union.
Nominations are open now with the closing date midday on Monday 15th October.
Do not hesitate.
Do not delay.
Get on the website.
Have your say.

It's such a fantastic opportunity so do please get involved and stand for your department or representative group.
Two further things to plug:
- The Burma Solidarity Demo next Monday: http://shef.facebook.com/event.php?eid=19760916688&ref=mf
- My band are playing two gigs this weekend:
Thursday night: http://shef.facebook.com/event.php?eid=13855770186
Saturday night: http://shef.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5067367729
Without facebook I dunno where I'd be.
It's worth £10bn apparently Chris Moyles told me.
Any bids?
