A bit down about the RD8 feedback.

Cameron Wesley

Chin up. Do what the client wants and smile.

Jem Badhuri

Even when you know it’s not the right thing?

Especially then.

Dear Gela,

I’ve had an email from Jemisha, explaining why your group shouldn’t implement our suggested changes. She claims Cameron has left your MA course. Is that correct? If so, where is he? Without being alarmist, he still has something of ours. I need it back and he’s being obtuse.

Dear Mae,

I’m in close contact with Cameron. He’s working on another project and is most likely abroad. I know what he has of yours is safe, because he told me it is, and I trust him.

Thanks to you and your team for such comprehensive feedback on the installation. It’s given the group a taste of real life – I look forward to watching them get over this psychological hurdle and pull together again. They’ve organised a coffee-and-cake-fuelled post-mortem for tomorrow. Jem is struggling to adapt to that aspect of the work, but the rest are very good with her. She’s a strong, positive individual with a fierce intelligence, talent and insight. She’ll come round.

Best,

Gela
