    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    It's just some of the people I work with. They push me at the best of times and the last few days the printer hasn't worked for just me, the computers crashed and people have marched in and taken over my work. We're having an MP to open my baby, a new £2.8m business centre. Two colleagues have just taken it over and I'm left wanting to wear a tee-shirt saying 'IT's MY PROJECT'. Actually might wear my dress that exactly matches the end wall just to make my point!!!

    would you like to live under my bridge too then?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    What do they teach kids these days?

    I really envy you Lou:p:p:p:p:p

    Well in fairness this particular student hardly ever turns up for class so his is one of the worst but the lazyness is rediculous, loads of copying and pasting from the internet, they dont even bother to change the text font!

    It does get to you when at the end of it you dont know whether the assignment is your work or theirs in the end after the amount of "constuctive and robust" feedback we have to give.

    That spot under the bridge looks quite inviting at the moment, do you have alchohol or are we just going to jump out at folks coming back from the offy?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Linda,
    Do they penalise you for going a bit over. Nobody penalises you in real life for doing a report that's a bit over!

    It said in the Uni handbook 10% over but I didn't read that until after I'd completed the assignment and handed it in!
    It was my first ever assignment
