Something which I have not done enough in my professional life; meeting authority figures in planning departments, making contacts with the people who can support or decline our project submissions. In the past I have had to depend on my partners to do this. Nowadays, the people I meet at the Lands and Survey Divisional office are surprised to see a 'new' old face like mine. They are wondering why they have not seen this man, someone who has obviously been around for a while, and have projects large enough to warrant meeting them in person.
In any case, I am very glad that Basil arranged for me to meet James who seemed pleasantly surprised to get a briefing on our recent submission. Sean was with me, I wanted him to take on this role at some point. I have not seen the spurt in the his 'ownership' of the project; the urgency in getting the project on ground. But then he has only been working here since August.
