I am feeling unwell, and have just read an article that has made it much worse. If men were made extremely ill and forced to suffer through a great deal of pain on a regular basis, I don't think anyone would be telling them that they had to embrace the pain as a beautiful part of their vitality and maleness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif)

Sorry if this is a bit/lot tmi for people...

People always used to tell me that it would get a lot better when I'd had a baby (it did). This was not much consolation when said baby refused to be conceived for 5 1/2 years!

OK, the pain is not beautiful, but who'd want to be a man when they could be a woman? The pain is a down payment on that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

(Sorry you're ill, but it will be better soon.)

Leave others to do all the embracing - curl up with a hot water bottle and some ibuprofen and feel entitled to scoff chocs and snap at anyone who comes within a mile of you. Hope you feel better soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Grrrr. I've inherited three new pupils this week from a couple of local peri teachers who work for the local music service. Each pupil has had a folder full of illegal photocopies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) And it's me who will have to break the bad news to the parents that they will have to fork out for music in future. They're all working towards TG exams, which means several new books, and one is working towards a diploma. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I don't think people who don't suffer realise how genuinely ill and horrible it can make one feel...I don't believe in embracing pain - I believe in eradicating it with whatever medicine works best (at least two hot water bottles, pills, cake, and some comfort reading in bed) Hope you feel much better very soon.

I start teaching on Monday. I (like every other member of staff) have a timetable with no rooms on it and have been told to consider it provisional until I have been given rooms.

The students were supposed to enrol today but the trams were on strike making the university virtually inaccessible. The students were supposed to fill in a paper form which will then be typed into the computer system and the students can then log in and print out an individual timetable. The timetable will only be available to download when their form has been put into the system and the administrative staff don't work on Friday afternoons (and we are talking about around 800 students). We have been told that those students who enrolled on Thursday should have their timetables by midday on Monday at the latest (what about morning classes? And what about those who didn't enrol today because they couldn't get to the university?)

Students have to download documents from the website but the documents are listed under the teacher's name and they aren't told the teacher's name before the first class to stop them swapping classes when they see who they've got so they can't download anything before the first lesson and we have no photocopy budget.

I decided I would do something on powerpoint instead of using a paper document and tried to book a video-projector but you can only do that if you say which room you'll be in ...
