Way to ruin a good weekend

Date September 14, 2008

Maybe I shouldn’t use my blog to bitch about work, but to be honest- I don’t think I’ve got a lot left to lose. As we speak I’m probably being considered incompetent and unprofessional because files that left complete when I went on secondment are now allegedly incomplete. I found this out after a phone [...]

Surfacing to breathe

Date December 11, 2006

The last week and a half have been consumed with the lovely chore of marking (which I always leave till the last minute) and reporting. It’s been busy and taken a toll on my sleep and exercise. Luckily its over, just in time for a round of Christmas related festivities- which are also taking a [...]

Rock the Vote and other such things

Date November 22, 2006

It’s been a huge week or so for me. I should have blogged during the last week, but I’ve either been a)rushed off my ass b) enjoying the little moments of calm and time to myself before I’m rushed off my ass again in the rush to get to the end of the year. My [...]

Falling into a familiar trap

Date August 25, 2006

It seems I am falling back into the trap I was trying to get out of in a way. I’m not writing much- not that I don’t have anything to say, but my mind is so muddled it is difficult to get them into coherent sentences that anyone would want to read. Then what I [...]

Sorry Nicole

Date April 17, 2006

My gorgeous friend is down from Mackay and wanted to hang out today. I can’t, because I’ve got bloody WORK to do. This sucks -I need to start a new job now.

Putting it all in perspective

Date April 8, 2006

To say I’ve had a bad week would be an understatement, there has been tears, yelling and gnashing of teeth. It’s been awful. Not kid related at all- mainly to do with what I’ve got to do, in what time and the support (or in some cases, lack thereof) I am getting.

Slipping under the radar

Date March 4, 2006

I’ve been slipping under the radar the last week or so. I’ve been busy with work related stuff, got sick again, feeling a little lost and sorry for myself generally. I’ve been thinking of getting another job- again. It’s not serious, but usually it takes till second term for me to want to throw in [...]

Peaks and Troughs

Date February 12, 2006

It’s been a busy, eventful, up – and- down week. Lovely in some ways, frustrating and disappointing in others. A long rant and coverage of the week follows- click if you dare!!

Whose history?

Date January 28, 2006

I’m probably a little late on this, but I had to make a comment. As part of his Australia day comments, our Prime Minister decided that we don’t teach history well enough. Excuse me? As someone from thechalk whiteboard-face I don’t quite understand what he thinks I do as a SOSE teacher. He says “Too [...]
