I’d like to introduce you to my colleague, Catherine. She started at ECUS nearly four years ago now as the admin assistant whilst working on her LLM in Environmental Law. Now, of course, she is a key part of our Environmental Management team. We are all very impressed as she dashes off after work to practice with her salsa band, her folk metal band and her ladies recorder group or to various of her gigs. She even finds time to go to see other bands play.
We love Catherine. She is rather quiet when she’s not whistling complicated classical tunes but she is great fun to be around with a wicked sense of humour, an addiction to strong tea and a wonderful ability to make sense of environmental legislation. Even better, she is a completer/finisher. Nothing pleases her more than putting the final touches to a report, PDFing it and sending it off. She’ll even QA my reports for the joy of another piece of work completed. And she looks lovely in turquoise. What’s not to love?
I don’t want to paint too rosy a picture though. Catherine is a music snob. She finds the ‘music’ I listen to offensively banal. I will admit to finding her taste a little too hardcore for my middle-aged ear. When we travel together we tend to compromise on Classic FM.
Anyway, at the end of a very busy week she has promised me that she will write a short piece about the new Environmental Permitting (England and Wales)(Amendment)(No.2) Regulations. How exciting!
(Catherine grumbles that saying she finds my music offensively banal is a little harsh. It's just, she says, not to her taste.
