      <![CDATA[<p>well, it officially started yesterday.  after my research group vacated their labspace in my building, there was always going to be a point when there was a tussle over space.  given that 6 students were 'left behind', we were given some kind of assurance that we wouldn't lose any office space.</p>

<p>well that's been thrown out of the window.  the space grab has started in earnest.  despite what has been promised to us in the past, it looks as though my time at level 5 MBS is at a close.  it really shits me, given that I've only a few weeks to go (knock wood) on my write-up.  i was severely pissed off yesterday about it.</p>

<p>just another one of the universe's attempts to tap me on the shoulder and tell me to move on.</p>

<p>and on top of all that, it was BBH's last contracted day at UQ yesterday.  my lab group is moving on, well, at least leaving people behind.  its all a little 'Survivor' really.  "I'm sorry BBH/TimmyB/anyone not working on sludge, you've been voted out of the labgroup - goodbye!".</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm not bitter.</p>]]>
