Being told by my supervisor that she's really impressed with the work I've been doing, the assessments I've done and the way I've written the assessment reports.

At our schools my supervisor and I are currently stressing stressing stressing about getting all the assessments and reports and meetings finalised for those students who are applying for funding for next year (Funding for Students with Disabilities through the Department of Education).

Being able to actually do things and be productive despite all I really wanted to do being lie on the couch with a blanket and sleep.

So he asked the room at large, and before I even registered that he'd ( Read more... )
