A hard look and a big stick

Undergrad Office: Dear lecturer, please send me this information about your course by this date.

*tumbleweed*

Undergrad Office: (11:35) Hey you, can you chase the ten lecturers who haven't responded?
Me: sure.
Me: (15:30) Dear lecturer, please send the Undergrad office this information about your course by yesterday. Or you'll have to answer to both of us. And your course might not run.

15:35: four replies.
Me: (15:40) Isn't it remarkable what that threat achieved.
Undergrad Office: (15:45) Yes. Apart from the one who replied to a totally different manager asking them to pass their email on to me.

Readings skillz. We haz them. Locked in the admin offices, apparently.

PS A year? Really? Must try harder. The academics do...
