2. Basecamp Responsibilities — Response times on jobs

To ensure projects are delivered by your desired date, please make sure you're responsive to CME on your Basecamp jobs! A reminder that if we don't hear from you in over 72 hours, we will be putting your job on HOLD so we can keep the other jobs in our queue moving. There are currently over 50 Basecamp projects in the CME queue, so jobs placed on hold may not be able to be delivered by their original date. 

If there's something causing a delay in your responses,  please visit the Help Desk or email Comms so that CME might be able to assist you .


3. FREE IRL WALLPAPER?!— Come collect your Sem 1 A1 posters!

Before we do our big ol' cleanout for the move, we'd like to invite all departments to pick up any of the A1 posters they wish to keep from the last semester! They can make awesome decorations for office walls and can be a bright, colourful reminder (and lowkey advertisement) of all the amazing things your department has hosted and achieved so far this year!

Pick up from the Comms Office (Level 4, Union House) by 4pm Wed 24 Aug.

(Just note that not all posters are guaranteed to have survived display, sorry!)

It’s 2012 and you have just opened Tumblr. A photo pops up of MGMT in skinny jeans, teashade sunglasses and mismatching blazers that are reminiscent of carpets and ‘60s curtains. Alexa Chung and Alex Turner have just broken up. His love letter has been leaked and Tumblr is raving about it—”my mouth hasn’t shut up about you since you kissed it.” Poetry at its peak: romance is alive.
