Ok, rant ahead. It will be brief but OMFG I AM SO CLOSE TO QUITTING. If it weren't for the fact that a) I need money, b) I've worked damn fucking hard to get this job, and c) my students love me and I love teaching them, I'd be fucking gone. SO sick of work politics and petty bullshit. How can one person make things so fucking miserable for so many ( Read more... )

Uh, so I start teaching at another institute tomorrow at the glorious time of 9.30am, and of course in typical fashion I procrastinated ALL WEEKEND D: So then I thought I probably should organise myself for tomorrow only to find out I can't access my material from last year... Shit.

So stupidly, I didn't back up my PowerPoints, and I lost my USB, ( Read more... )

Urgh, so sorry flisters for disappearing. Work has been ridiculous and I either haven't had time or have lacked any motivation to do anything whatsoever. But now I'm feeling guilty for not even bothering to write a journal entry D:

( Whingy whingy bitch bitch... )

Every year our council puts on a music festival called Globe to Globe and it's held in the park up the street from us. They have different food stalls and whatnot and we usually go to try some yummy cuisine. We went and enjoyed some Sangria (non-alcohol) and it was so yummy and refreshing. Matt pigged out on tacos while I had some paella. So ( Read more... )

Had a complete blonde moment this afternoon. I apparently have can't count because I didn't realise that next week is my last week of fulltime employment at work D: Seriously, I thought it was the week after! Where the hell did the month go already? Anyway I'm having a slight freak out. It looks like I should still have at least a full day of ( Read more... )

So Christmas has been and gone and I have to admit I'm kinda thankful for that. It's a stressful time of year, and I get a little depressed and cranky and it's just not what it used to be. Anyway, it was lovely to spend time with family, but now life can resume some normalcy.

I am hoping that 2012 will bring a better yield than this year (and last ( Read more... )

Ha, what a perfect writers block for this week. I definitely need to rant and vent because omfg I'm going to go postal.

I found out yesterday I might be out of a job next year. So that's pretty shit. It's all dependent on student enrolment numbers, because if there's not enough students to run more than one class then it's bye bye to me. I get it. ( Read more... )

I can once more return to having a semi-normal life for at least a little while - omg YAY! Interpret: I finished marking assignments :D Oh dear lord it nearly killed me. But whinge I shall not, for it is done! Well, my part is done at least, I can handball the rest of the resubs and crap to someone else because I'm on sick leave bitches!

In other ( Read more... )

Quick update on the Manky situation and to let you all know I'm alive and - well not kicking exactly, but alive none-the-less ;)

So I'm back in hospital and had surgery yesterday morning for the skin graft. I was super anxious about it because I hate pain and I anticipated how much it'd hurt. To be honest it's not actually as bad as I had expected. ( Read more... )

So this is a vent post. I will be brief but I'm so fucking pissed off right now.

As most of you know I'm off work because of the rather decent sized hole in my leg. And you'll probably also know that I'm a tertiary teacher. So, while I'm off work I can still do marking because though I am in and out of hospital still and not particularly mobile I'm ( Read more... )
