Morning All.
WEll for me it's the last week of the holidays and I am starting to have nightmares about my new class already!

Don't let the little fuckers see your fear - they'll use it the second they know!
My world is a haze of bad music and turps fumes. :P Up coming events? Ummmm exams in two and a half months would be a biggie.

I'm being seconded in September so that's a little nerve-wracking. But currently all is right with the world.

For the first time in years, I've done the lottery twice in one week. You'd assume that was a sign of discontentment. Or maybe I've just spotted loads of things I want to buy. And I suddenly want to travel lots. I dunno what that means. Maybe I'm just ready for new stuff. I feel like a sponge at the moment.

Nope. Definitely not a sponge.

Cheers for the squash.

I hate saying things are good when I think they're good, just in case I'm wrong and fate punishes/laughs at me. When things are mildly ok or bad, I say they're great, to show just how happy with my lot I am and to indicate that I don't need any more bad luck.
I have no idea whether this makes me a pessimist or an optimist.
How's tricks with you?

I fuck up my own head.
I'd be better off carrying some baggage and pondering important things, but instead I feel like an alien who's just landed. It's exciting, but confuzzling.

But on the positive side I watched How to Lose Friends and Alienate People last night and not only did I think it was a great film I also got an unexpected

Job has settled down a bit, much drinking has been going on, and I have somehow aquired a girlfriend! Only thing that fills me with doom is the prospect of 8 nightshifts at the end of september!

Glad you're getting into your job. Well done on the lady acquisition too.
You just never know where life's going to take you. Well, it'll be taking you to sleep-deprivation rather soon, but you're a dab-hand at that so I wouldn't worry!

50+ hr a week is not good :(. However I've actualy got a contract now, so it's all good! Yes, life is strange sometimes. Weird directions. And yes, I am very good at sleep deprivation! Something of a talent of mine. Anyway, there's plenty of coffee at work so it's all good. How have you been?

I've had a few mini-adventures, made some new friends, got rid of some flotsam and jetsam, had some summer lovin'. I've realised I can't really afford to change my career right now but I'm looking forward to the bullying and harassment support role starting in September.
I'm getting better at the lack of sleep thing too. Power naps :D

Shame about having to stick with your current job, but I guess that if you know what you want to do, and stick to it you'll get there eventualy! And yes, never got the hang of powernaps myself, but for some reason I'm in one of those periods where I only need a couple of hours of sleep a night, so all is good!

Most are stuff like the days of the week and how to sit on the carpet nicely.
What other signs should I put up?

Take your tounge out of the windowhinge if I'm closing the window.
If you keep making camel noises you'll have to leave the room.
Copying your work is not an excuse for stabbing someone else with a compass.
I found myself saying such things rather more often than I thought I would when I was working as a classroom assistant! Fun times....
