    Night John-Boy!

    Err, shuffles in at stupid o clock looking sheepish. Guess who has drunk over a bottle last night and is feeling the worse for it and can't sleep now.

    Congratulations Jo!!! It's funny how much everyone's daily ups and downs here become part of our circle,

    Welcome to Icandothis.

    Off to try some rob-nsons orange squash. For some reason I always crave that when I've drunk too much.

    Hope all the rest of you are sleeping soundly.

    I'll be MAD tomorrow.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    I'd love to know how it all went today.

    For those that are interested, it was hell. There was 3 of us, 3 had already done theirs in the morning. We had 20 minutes in the office area to interrogate the staff in there, then a prefect took us off on a school tour which took half hour cos the school's so big! Then I had to watch a video of a meeting on a laptop (that they had rigged with alsorts of anomolies, i.e. changed touch pad to a left handed one etc.....sure they did that on purpose :naughty: :cool:) and listen through earphones and take minutes, then type the minutes. Then had to type a reply letter to a complaint to the head, then had to amend and correct a letter ready for posting......then it was the interview in front of new head, acting head, business manager and chair of govs :eek:

    ETA: one of the other interviewees in the afternoon walked out after her first task because she said she couldn't get on with the laptop!

    Gotta wait for formal letter before I can hand my notice in, but they want me to start on 19th April :eek: so only 23 days left at this place, then 2 weeks off to prepare then full on stuff :eek:

    Gotta run, I'm late :wave:
