Re: risk assistments det school

Noona, I went to seminar given by Phil Crisp (founder of Csis) long time ago and he said, as long as you follow the guide lines given by CSIS, you do not need to do your own RA.

Re: Textbooks & Pettycash

I used to do shopping and then wait (a long time) for a refund. When I complained (and complained and..) I was given a float of $250. When used up, I apply for new one. Usually once per term. But I was told I have to use school's car. Does not worry me.
So still do shopping for every day items.
