Things that ur happy about

[feral chile]

An old friend has just got a new job. That means she'll be leaving her old post before she's completed delivering some planned training in July. So she's recommended me to do the work. She'll even pass me all of the course material she's prepared. So all I'll have to do is strap on a pair of falsies and a black wig and turn up and say: "Hi, I'm Deb." (Well perhaps a little bit more).

That's really good news. There are rumours that we'll be out of a job where I work in 2020, which would mean that I'll be job hunting at 60. Wish me luck with that

Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to have a career change, if I could think of something.

Well i've just been confirmed for a PGCE in Secondary Geography today, so i'm pretty fucking hyped.

Downside... No more Glasto.

I agree. What a bloke. An example of a true humanitarian. He shone a light which we should all shine, if only we were big enough to do so.

Off to a festival later this morning, so am happy about that. I've never been to it before so it'll be interesting to see what it's like. Also, the festival website said you can make special requests by email, which I did. A member of the festival team rang me yesterday to confirm at what stage and when they'll make an announcement on my behalf. They are going to announce a message to my wife from me ( been married all of 3 weeks now). She knows nothing about it and wont until they announce it from the stage either before or after a certain band (which I'll not mention by name) play. I'm pretty certain that she'll be mortified at how corny it'll be. I fully expect to have the piss taken out of me over it for some time to come, which in some deviant way I am also quite happy about.

Congratulations on your recent nuptials, I knew they were in the offing, but didn't somehow notice that they had passed. Enjoy your festival

Thanks Spindles. The festival is kind of part of our honeymoon package. We had originally planned to be at the festival right now. Things haven't gone according to plan. Hoping to be off in about 30 mins though. Hope all is good at your end.

Am guessing you've got tickets for November.

Yeah, did electric ballroom last week and have tickets for Brixton

Not going to RAH though - a man can't have everything

I've bought James tickets for Birmingham. Apart from festivals I don't go to concerts normally. I had to make an exception for James when I heard they were touring.

Have decided to go to another festival this weekend to celebrate my birthday.

[grumpyhack]

My caravan towed really well going to Wychwood so now considering a couple of extras fests in July/August that might be a bit farther afield.

Oh and ordering a new 10 metre flagpole to go with it.

[eFestivals]

my new flagpole for the efests meet flag (for glasto).

Seems awesome, with the Hogwarts express to! Just seen the pictures of the "London" bit ..while locations are slightly out , its fairly impressive replica of the stations to be fair!

Just had an e-mail from one of my former learners who did an Introductory teaching course with me two years ago to say that he's passed his PGCE, specialising in ESOL.

It's wonderful when you chuck a stone in the pond and hear how the ripples have spread.

If your learners do well you can say "It's because I'm such a good tutor."

If they do badly you console yourself with the thought: "Well they were a crap bunch anyway."

I'm half amused & half feeling bad at the moment as I just accidently interrupted a couple having sex on the stairs at work.

Post of the day contender. And so early too jump

Did you not ask if you could join in?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Tom - think of the health & safety implications of three people having sex on the stairs at work. I'm pretty sure that would require a risk assessment to be carried out first by the works H & S department. If they then turn up they'll want to join in as well. If they seek ratification for their actions from the Board of Directors they may also want to come to the stairs to see the situation for themselves. You can see where this is going - the whole work force will end up shagging on the stairs. I fail to see how this could in anyway help the companies output.

jump - your post has made me happy today. Thanks

I was thinking about playing porno-style music to help the mood but I chickened out and coughed loudly around the corner.

[Spindles]

Clearly your workplace is more fun than mine.

Why don't you change it? Just hang out on the stairs flirting with people who walk past and maybe change the lightbulbs so it's dimmer, take a blanket and have some mood music playing too. I even promise not to disturb you!
