In the 11+ years of working in Higher Education, I think there has been one year that didn’t feature some form of job loss/redundancy event.

Andy Shuttleworth @andyshuttle.bsky.social · 1d

In any other industry, such as steel, was threatened with the loss of 12,000 jobs the government would intervene. But with Universities and Higher Education it’s just a Friday.

Morning All. Let’s smash today.

Thoughts and Prayers. Or Handaxes and Bones, as the case may be.

Hello, Durham. It’s good to be home.

I would imagine at the first sign of that, someone would tap them on the shoulder and have a word about how command may not be for them. And provide a treatment plan.

Goodbye, America. It’s been a hoot.

Speaking of shipwrecks, I’d recommend a book called ‘The Wager’. About a shipwreck, as you’d imagine, and the subsequent travails of the crew & court martial.

One last walk around The Strip…

One last night. Enjoying Fremont Street, and for myself a caricature to join the one I got when I was 21.

Finishing my time in #LasVegas with a meal at #HellsKitchen. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a fan of cheesy reality tv-shows, so this has been a treat.

Hey #Arizona, I could trace my hands over your Grand Canyon for hours.

Visiting the #GrandCanyon today. Took a walk on the Skywalk, and appreciated some fine geology.

And I returned to the longest corridor ever to get back to my room.

Tomorrow: the Grand Canyon.

Andy Shuttleworth @andyshuttle.bsky.social · 9d

I walked along one side of The Strip, and then back down the other. About three hours. It was quite pleasant.

Andy Shuttleworth @andyshuttle.bsky.social · 9d

But the Bellagio Fountains are still nice.

Andy Shuttleworth @andyshuttle.bsky.social · 9d

Things have changed since I was last here, and it’s remarkably quiet. Some crowds, but not as many as I remembered from ten years ago.
