Well actually it's a fortnight at the uni that niece number 1 has just enrolled in. Yes my niece is a freshman, surely that should be freshlady shouldn't it? She's studying to become a teacher.
Those who can, teach. Those who can't go into politics.
The last few days have seen a depressed me, well only a little, because I had lost my "Armed forces veteran" lapel badge. But today I found it under a huge pile of laundry that needed doing, what a relief. I'd probably have to join a very long list to get a replacement.
Not a lot has been happening in the world of Ed this week other than the fact that I start a training course with some EU funded company that specialises getting people back to work in the public sector. They specialise in single parents, ex cons and the long term unemployed. I'm none of those things (yet), so how did I end up on their books?
Well I'll tell you. When I was signing on at the dole office my case worker (or what ever the hell his job title is), was having a problem sending an email, he wanted to make a template and didn't know how to, I showed him how and asked him if he had done the ECDL, he said he was working through it at the present. He's been doing it on and off for the last three months. I was gob smacked! I blasted through it in 3.5 days another bloke doing it with me did it in two days, he was a web master any way and wanted the piece of paper for future employers.
So his job is to use a computer and several applications simultaneously with peoples personal details, yet he has trouble sending emails, WTF!
He then suggests that I should be teaching the ECDL and puts a flyer from this training company in front of me and says that they would be more help than he could be in respect of training.
So starting Tuesday I'm back in education. DAMN!!
No more late nights and early starts will become the norm, BELGIUM!!
On a lighter note here is the t-shirt that A from down south got for me.
Pretty much sums me up in a nut shell.
(nut case more like)
PS
I've revised my last post as an apology to OLPP. Sorry K.

Sounds like your going to be a 'student'then.
Waking up at the crack of noon, halfs of cheap cider, arguing about why star trek is better than star wars.....oh. Not too much of a change then. ha ha ha, I amused myself.
Haven't you got some work to do?
There's a saying in the Met, 'Those who can't; teach!"
Love the 'T', well done A.
Me? no. well probably yes, but its only drawing pretty patterns, its much more fun reading the internet. I only have 2 chapters left until I've finished it.
See what happens when you try to help someone?!?!
No good turn goes unpunished
YAY ED! Another thing we have in common, other than our love for PK- education! Right on! I knew I adored you for a good reason, I just couldn't figure out what it was! Now I know.
Mr Ed,
That roller-coaster clip you sent me was brilliant. Someone with a sick mind and way too much time on there hands did some very interesting work.
When will the Tate Modern open a you tube gallery for all the great virals and video clips that deserve to be viewed.
later student
The tate and you tube, that would then give me the kick I need to go culture myself.
I'd never leave.
Later wage slave.
