Lord you Up Me above the stor Alexa light off Okay Ch Good just to the [Laughter] room2 sorry I the line I’m scared this is this room is probably better than the other one cuz the other one gives us issues every single time it work can you hear us thank you nice to see you All good um so I’ll leave you all catch up with it’s l time yeah so on the um Technical Services and those I’m going to pick up I work out what we need to Do okay thanks everybody okay did you end it here or yeah do it’s better than the other room yeah and the next is already on the screen Yeah I know I’m always the one sending you second reviews that are not yet finalized okay because my my concern is that I want to capture everything especially wh to do that ourselves yeah because I feel like if I send it if I send my review back to them and then

They accept and think that I’m going to send them a final copy and then I come back I send it for second review and then somebody picks up something I feel like that’s a little less professional and coordinated I always otherwise we end up having to do the second reviews

Again and again because things trained thank you for following me to work as a contract manager today I did an agreement I was working on a studentship a studentship is a PhD research agreement like the student ship I did it has to be funded by an external partner

Or the university it is not a self-funded PhD a self-funded PhD we don’t have any business to do with it but if I have to do a studentship it means that it is funded by a third party and that third party is paying the tuition to the university so that means

We need an agreement so I was working on two of that today it’s a long agreement so that was literally what I was doing when I got in I sent some emails responded to some emails and then started working on the agreement so I worked on it from the beginning to the

End I closed late because I wanted to finish it if I not finish that Professor I was telling my colleagues that if I don’t send this because um Professor has been fing up fing up fing up so I told the professor that okay I’m going to try

To finalize and send her a draft by Friday and today is Wednesday so I knew that if I don’t do if I don’t start now and take it seriously I might not finish so I finished one today tomorrow I’ll do the second one send it to the professor to review if she’s fine

With it I’ll send it to the partner on Friday or even by tomorrow as well depending on how fast I finish and how fast she responds it is finally lunch time I couldn’t be Happ here have you seen that smile on my face that is a

Hungry face going to look for food yes yes I love my lunch time it is 1 hour and I take my 1 hour lunch time I don’t even negotiate I take my 1 hour lunch time cuz it allows me to take a walk because you know sitting down all day is

Not really good so I use the opportunity to take a walk and then go get food to eat or check social media just do whatever I want to do during that 1 hour so that I will refresh myself and get back to work the campus is a huge one and this

Restaurant is for both staff and students it is called eat at the square and it is a buffet restaurant so there is discount for staff so as a staff I get to pay £550 to have lunch in this um restaurant it is a buffet you can eat as much as

You want but because I come for lunch around 2:00 p.m. it’s usually scanty by this time because it opens by 11:00 a.m. closes by 2:30 and yeah I come around 2:00 p.m. so you already know what that means it means almost everything is finished but I really don’t mind cuz my

Incentive for coming here is usually to take advantage of the veggies I love the vegetables okay if I take a corn on the cup and sweet corn then you know that I really love corn This is burger with I love Burger so I took a little of that I took this sausage that I did not like and this is like chicken I take that as well so I told you guys when by 2 p.m. everything is almost finished so I’m just taking

Advantage of salad vegetables as much as I can I took wrap as well and uh yeah that’s it if you really know yourself if you like yourself hm don’t carry food without taking seasonings Abby toppings whatever you call it this is I usually like to top it

Up with like soy sauce and other seasonings because if you don’t you will be eating bland food I’ll not say anything sh but depends on your test BS so but I usually like to take different toppings and to you know just make the food a little bit tasty and yeah it’s

Coffee time of course I will take coffee Today was a quiet day I would say and I like I like quiet days because they allows me to focus that’s why I could finish the agreement from start to finish without distractions I just had one meeting you guys saw it I just had one meeting and I went out to have lunch

And that’s the only time that I had you know I would say distraction from my work but other than that it was a bit quiet It’s time it’s time to go home the best part of my day taking my bags and just going to my house you can see the office looks empty that’s because majority of my colleagues resume by 8 and when they resume by 8 it closed by 4: I resume by

9 so I close by 5: but today I had stayed till like 5:45 cuz I needed to do some things yeah so I’m so excited it’s time to go home now the day is Over bye bye Up so so walk is over walk ends and um I just left as you can see going to be heading to the bus station now but I’m just happy that I was able to make this content for you guys to see I didn’t think I’ll be able to record as much as

I did but I’m just happy it turned out the way it did and the thing is I have been having content fatigue I’ve not been able to edit any videos today is Wednesday you guys know that last Friday there was no long form content on this

Channel so I was just excited to make this video and I’m going to edit this video today Wednesday tomorrow Thursday hopefully I post it on Friday because I’m so excited and I feel like the content cannot wait so I’m happy that I came up with this idea because I didn’t

I didn’t just feel like editing any videos or posting any new videos or even even to edit the content that I have a lot of content in my draft but to edit them has been such a Hustle but yeah I’m glad that I succeeded in doing this I hope you guys like

It hi ala lights on okay y hey guys I hope you can see me I don’t know if I’m in frame I hope you can see me so I’m back home was a very good day productive day one of my colleagues that is my G partner was not

The office today so I was really really focused and I like it sometimes I’m in the office alone if I go in on Tuesdays we I don’t have a lot of people that coming on Tuesdays so if I so there are some days that are going on Tuesdays and

I’m alone so when I million H 100% Focus no distraction I don’t like meetings so anytime I have to attend meeting I’m like do I really have to CU meetings are like distractions to me I would rather send an email than hop on a meeting

Because if I send an email I can be doing other things while expecting your feedback the total Email exchange for today was about 12 I received like six I sent out like five I think it was 11 I sent out five emails I received six

Emails so that’s like a very slow day a quiet day I would say because usually emails will be more maybe like 15 20 one day depending yeah I didn’t show you guys my worklog I might have to show you guys my worklog I’m handling like maybe like 50 contracts like 50 contracts on

My life tab so the contracts let me just show you guys so so far I have completed 65 contract so when I mean completed it means it has been signed and negotiations have been finalized I am currently handling 49 contracts it means I am negotiating them I have started the negotiations either drafting

Negotiating or whatever so I’m currently handling 49 the ones that I have receiv received the instructions but I am yet to start working on it is just about 3 so yeah that’s sometimes there sometimes that the ones I’m yet to begin is like up to 15 that’s when I’ll start

Panicking because if I have a lot of things pending then panic mode activated yeah so that’s literally what my workload is like 49 currently sometimes it gets to 55 or 60 depending but yeah so far so good so yes guys that’s it let me know if you have any questions about

What is like working as a contract manager I thought I should show you guys at Leist to have a sneak peek in case to help those that are looking forward to working as a contract man manager especially in a university or research setting okay I’m going to do a video to

Break down the duties of a contract manager what you do what you expected to do in fact I have a draft here it’s going to be working as a contract manager what I do who I interact with what the workload is like typical negotiation cycle being a contract

Manager in a university how it is different from being a contract manager in other places who should become a contract manager in case you are thinking should I become one and um yeah a performance review everything about it I’m going to share so I decided to make

This video because and I’m going to also make the other video because I noticed that ever since I made a video saying that I got a job as a contract manager a lot of people have been reaching out to me asking about oh I don’t know if I
