Thanks all! Money wise this is a lateral move but the work will be very interesting.

I do know they really want me to stay, but the department appears to be unappreciated inside the greater organization. The organization has a growth mania which does not appear to help folks do there best for clients. I've never been good with big organizations so a lot of it is probably me.

It seems the business of education, is more about business than education. The philosophy appears to be, it's cheaper, more efficient, to crush the minion's dreams when they're very young, rather than going though the charade of 'you can be anything you want'.

It seems my grammars were broke too.

I am happy about the cakes I put out this week. The Calavera one has received excellent reviews and the customers were very happy. There is a picture in my cupcake thread if you want to see. I am just very happy with how things are going although not too impressed with the markets lately. Cupcakes are not selling as well as they used to, although my local market is still good, so I'm thinking of dropping back to just doing one per month in town here and working on cakes the other weekends.

I'm happy that Sundae called me this afternoon on Mr Bell's electric telephone.

We had an enjoyable chat and, although I always knew it, she's frighteningly well read.

Money wouldn't make me happy today.

glatt · 11-19-2014, 04:20 PM

Sorry, man. I hope things start looking up for you soon.

BigV · 11-19-2014, 04:58 PM

dude, you must be sick or something.

I'm getting better at programming, and that makes me pretty happy considering I enjoy it a lot.

Awwww. I am so chuffed for, and proud of J

I just got an email telling me he's been promoted to Senior Lecturer.

He's been teaching there for about 3-4 years- but first couple of years was just term to term part time tutoring alongside Phd. He's only been a junior lecturer for about 18 months. He's had a really big impact on his department - students love him, he's connected them in with some of the gaming industry led student prizes and projects.

Lovely to see his hard work paying off.

Gaming industry? What's he teaching, math(s) or statistics?
