There is a rumour, much-beloved of the right wing trolls who frequent this blog a lot more often at present than the comments section might suggest, that I do not really work. Then, when I admit to needing a day off they troll again.<\/p>\n
So, let me recount a day last week. It was Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Six blogs were published, with comments dealt with.<\/p>\n
Five videos were recorded (some more than once, because Thomas is more than willing to tell me when he thinks I can do better) and work with him on the edits of a couple was begun.<\/p>\n
Podcasts with AccountingWEB and Scotonomics were recorded, each being about an hour in length.<\/p>\n
The slides for a postgraduate seminar presentation were written.<\/p>\n
Preparatory notes for an undergraduate lecture the next day were reviewed.<\/p>\n
And an hour was spent in a meeting with colleagues from Sheffield, the International Budget Project and the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency on the video series we are making, in which I have a big role.<\/p>\n
The day started before 6.30am and ended at around 8pm.<\/p>\n
If that is shirking, I think my trolls should try it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
