Pledges!

The OU decided this year to bring in pledging!

Not the monetary value type but the "I pledge to.." do something for the benefit of students and staff.

Cynical cow that I am has mixes feelings about this, there are those that are extremely consciousness who work their butt off for this place so how much more can they give? Their blood?

However a number of people signed up.

I saw a pledge that said I'd like to meet at least one new person a month to find out more about the OU. He put this into practice by advertising for coffee mates! He even offered to buy the coffee - how could I refuse?

Spent a lovely time chatting to Barry about Roles and responsibilities and how they differ from unit to unit, what should have been 30 mins turned into an hour of non stop chatter.

I liked his positive attitude, he gave more by educating himself.

Must change outlook!
