Ugh it's so hot and muggy in Melbourne and I want this cool change to hurry up and get here D: I hate the heat, and I especially hate humidity, and I have icky boob sweat and everything! I feel groooosss. On the upside, at least we have A/C and a ceiling fan because otherwise I'd die, seriously. I have to keep going out to check on the animals - ( Read more... )

Another rant post, just a pre-warning ( Read more... )

This time of year, guys, is seriously the worst. It's end of semester and I'm trying to get through all of my marking because results have to be in - plus, after this week I no longer get paid for teaching until semester starts next year. And I have some seriously fucking useless students that make this process even more horrific than it already is ( Read more... )

Gosh, I haven't posted here in ages D: Sorry flisters! I haven't really got much interesting to say lol. We've been playing Assassin's Creed 3 mostly, and getting my owned in Multiplayer :/ We went to the midnight release at EB Games, and dressed up of course. We won a super giant poster for our efforts whoo! And then we got our big prize pack from ( Read more... )

Aloha flisters! I've had an incredibly tumultuous week and though I should be prepping for tomorrow's class, showering and going to bed I thought I'd share my latest news!

First off, I'm pretty certain I am not going to be teaching at BHI again. Yeah, I lost my shit at my SE the other day when they tried to take 10hrs pay for resource development ( Read more... )

Quick update because I have a billion things still left to do and I desperately need to sleep at some stage tonight!

I got an email back from the Australian Academy of Design about enrolling part-time in their Graphic Design course. Gave them a call in my lunch break today and I'm going in for an interview and to present my portfolio tomorrow! ( Read more... )

More work bitching and ranting...

So, I was meant to hear back today about the result of my meeting with OD and the Centre Manager. I didn't hear anything so emailed to find out what the deal is, and was informed that it's been delayed because the SE3 has gone on holidays. My meeting was almost 2 weeks ago. I was originally told I would hear back ( Read more... )

I had the meeting with the Centre Manager today about my pay and being completely fucked over. Yeah, I don't think anything will come of it. Was flat out refused a part-time contract because of the budget cuts (thanks Government...). But, I can say I did the right thing and that I tried. And they now know that I'm thinking of not coming back next ( Read more... )

A few things - firstly my apologies for lack of anything lately. I've been either massively busy with work, or totally unmotivated in the brief moments I do have time. So, I'm still around. Just... moping and working :(

I think I'm going to quit my teaching job. I have to organise something to go to, first though. Budget is already tight as it is, ( Read more... )

Warning - this is full of anger and ranty-ness and self-pity...

Seriously, I fucking loathe my job right now. If there are any teachers out there, can you give me words of comfort, or advice or something, because I honestly don't know much longer I can do this for. I have so much work to do D:

Plus, my boss is a fucking c*$#t and delegates everything ( Read more... )
