I had dinner with the dean of my university tonight.

A bunch of us were invited to have dinner with the dean at a fairly nice restaurant so we could share ideas and make suggestions to him on how to improve the teaching and learning experience at work.

I ended up eating a little bit too much as I often do when I eat out nowadays.

Anyway… more importantly than food it was a really good experience to look in to the mind of a guy with that much responsibility. He’s new in the position after the last dean was fired when a bunch of students held a protest because the maths exams at the end of the last semester was so tough. The new guy is young but you can tell he’s incredibly ambitious. He’s smart. Best of all, he’s willing to listen and pay attention to the people around him.

We all talked through a bunch of really important issues and I had a fairly good evening. It certainly made a change from my usual routine of doing a whole bunch of nothing in the evening.
