Dear Colleagues
As per my email from last Tuesday (see below), please do not submit any requests to us for the remainder of the week because they won't be processed, and you possibly won't even get a reply!
I am now a department of one, and about to move office tomorrow, so there are currently other things on my mind! I'm hoping that gradually I'll be able to work through the backlog towards the end of the week, but today, tomorrow and Wednesday are definitely non-starters. Our phones are operational today, but after that, I'm not sure when we'll be up and running again. If you've already submitted a request and wish to cancel, please phone me today before 4 pm. Don't email me, because it'll get lost in the pile of other messages.
I'm really sorry for any inconvenience, but the circumstances are out of my control
Best wishes

Subject: Edinburgh University (ED/U-1) lender of last resort
Dear Colleagues
Yes, you've guessed it: once again we are down to a skeleton staff. At the moment, there are only 2 of us in the department, although we are expecting some part-time assistance towards the end of the week.
Please therefore consider ED/U-1 as a lender of last resort for the remainder of this week and at least the whole of next week, and I'll keep you updated with any changes in our situation.
In the meantime we will try to honour requests already received up to the time of writing (10 am, Tuesday 19th March), but please bear with us. Any other request received after this morning may be rejected.
Also, If you want to cancel a request, please don't email us because it will get lost in the backlog. I'd rather you phoned us (0131 650 3377) to cancel anything.
Sorry once again for any inconvenience. One of these days we'll be back to normal.....
Best wishes
Marjory
