New Job!!!!

[Julie]

I have to say, I've enjoyed this week in work. The girls I work with are so funny, I was crying with laughter today..unfortunately I can't repeat what was said [:I][:D]

Hope others with new jobs are ok xx

Glad it went ok Julie.

Sometimes it takes a bit of time to settle down.

[Julie]

Thanks Jan,

I feel guilty as I haven't had a lot of time for the forum this week. By the time I get home and take Dobby out....not enough hours in the day [:D]

I'll try to catch up with posts over the weekend [:I]

[kallis3]

Don't worry Julie - I know what it's like with dogs! Can't wait until you meet my three!

[Shining]

Sounds like you're settling in Julie and so nice for you to have a laugh. x

[Julie]

Thanks Lesley [:)] I hope it continues to be enjoyable and I'm not counting my chickens.

How is your job at the moment?

[Shining]

My job isn't too bad at the minute as it's been Easter Hols! lol. We start teaching again on Monday but I'm hoping to go back more positive.

I had my mid year appraisal on Thursday and as the College is on the move as we're having a new College built there will obviously be new positions and as I like marketing it was pointed out to me to do some training in respect of this in the new academic year.

[Julie]

You've mentioned marketing before Lesley, this could be your opportunity to go down that route [;)]

[kallis3]

Good luck Lesley.

Hope your job continues ok Julie.

[Shining]

Thanks all, not sure which direction I'm going but I do know I'm giving up teaching as I'm pretty much burnt out x

[Hannaaah]

Lesley - marketings a good career path, plenty of opportunity to flex your creative muscles. Seeing a marketing campaign from design to implementation and then seeing positive results is massively rewarding.

Although, not sure if its as rewarding as teaching and the holidays arent as long!

[Shining]

Thanks Hannah! The holidays aren't as long but I do really dislike teaching at the minute....this morning I had to invigilate an exam where a student thought it ok to get up, make a coffee and read the paper and then recommence the exam....no matter what I said he said it didn't say in the rules/procedures he couldn't as he wasn't leaving the room and it didn't mention leaving a live exam paper unattended, needless to say he's going to fail! eek did I really say that!

[Julie]

What a lovely student you had there Lesley [:0]

I have to visit our Hull depot on Monday, so travelling upto Derby ( I think) on Sunday, straight after middle granddaughter's 5th Birthday party! Then meeting a depot manager at 9am Monday to go to Hull. Sounds like fun..not!

[kallis3]

Just think of it as a day out on the firm Julie! At least you're not stuck in the office all the time.

Hope it's not too bad for you Julie x
