Woo, funnage

So, one day left in this weeks teaching. Spoke to another teacher yesterday about how I was back again... I told her it was my 4th year and how it was scary, she said this was her 16th... How she's managed that I dont know. Neither does she.

Seriously, since I started teaching, I've gained so much more respect for all my teachers, past and present...

Earlier I was thinking about what I've done in my 4 years of teaching, and I've worked out that I've uttered several phrases far too many times on these courses:

"ok, go to file, page setup, click there and there, click ok, go to file, print and change the printer to Colour Laser x"
(approximately 1000 times)

"ok, go to edit, copy, click on the title bar of the other image, no, the title bar, no, the gray bit, no, the title bar, no, this bit, here, let me, ok, good, right, now go to edit, paste, as new selection. good, now change to the selection tool... no, the selection tool... no, up, up, up, down, up, yes, thats it, now click right mouse button and you'll stick it to the back"
(approximately 1500 times)

"gooood, no, not quite, up/down a bit"
(approximately 12,800 times)

"Pack up and shut up, I want to fuck off home"
(approximately once)

And I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with the afternoon course tomorrow. Short of having them make websites, there's nothing I've done in the past that I've got left to do with them. This will be fun!

So anyway, on an unrelated note, I seem to be getting new e-mails every time my mail client checks my accounts! It's brilliant!

It checks every 3 minutes...

I've picked up nearly 350 spams in the past 3 days, 440 exactly over the past 4... and today's not even over yet!

Woohoo! I feel so wanted!

On which point, I shall leave you to give play some more money.
