Wash behind your ears.

Don't talk to strangers.

Never write off George Foreman.

Never ever drink and drive.

Don't drink 12 cans of Pear Bulmers and expect to do anything but sit on the Jacks the entire next day.

Use sunscreen.

Along with your human rights come your personal rights. And responsibilities. You can assert these to anybody, but start with yourself.

If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two aspirin and keep away from children.

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

Take yourself out to dinner

I did 1 of those 4.

I'm having a Bret Hart "Should I stay with the WWF or join WCW?" moment on a much much smaller scale.

Do I stay with the school/class I like that will probably/will leave me jobless by January or do I go with a class that appeals to me alot less (but at the same time is less work) but offers me employment for the year?

It really is a no brainer in that I should take the job that offers more but for whatever reason it isn't.

Any random advice welcomed.

Money is king.
Take the job which pays more and offers the security. It’s a no brainer really and you will regret if you don’t and are unemployed struggling to pay the bills next year.
Its a no brainer really.

Happiness is king for many though. If you were unhappy in a well paid job, would you put up with it for the sake of the extra few pound? I'd nearly always say go with the job that provides happiness rather than wealth.

It's too much of a personal issue really, as each case is unique. You can't really give a right or wrong answer.

You even added the gramatically correct "h" in keeping with the tuisil ginideach. Jesus I love you.

Fair point but if Vince was to take the job he loves that will end soon he has to think can he get another once that ends?
I don’t know the chap myself so if he has others to consider the safe job may be the best in the long run.
He should take the safe job and even if he hates it he should be applying for jobs he may prefer in his free time.

G'day

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

As much as I would have loved to take the job up until Christmas, I went for the 1 that offers more security, even though it means moving to a new school and to a new job that doesn't instantly motivate me.

The security of the year long contract at a time when alot of primary teachers don't even have jobs was something I just couldn't turn down.

I feel kinda sad about the whole thing though because I really put all my effort and energy into my old school and wish things could have been different. Welcome to the real world I guess.

Somebody please put a bullet in me

My friend Paddy was made to a level 3 teaching course a few hours a week while he was on the dole there earlyer on in the year.

He just got his certificate in the post anybody know if its worth anything before he goes and makes a mess of the yoke using it a rolling mat.

Not worth a sh*te girl AFAIK. I know a few people who got those level 3 certs, as far as I know not one of them was ever able to put it to any worthwhile use. Luckily they got them with little or no effort on their part. Tesco own-brand bog roll would be more useful and probably more comfy on the ass as well tbh.:(

I can confirm that Orestes is no longer PW Mod (but who knows he could return...he did before). His departure was not pre-planned and therefore nor was it expected. Orestes has however suggested he may still be about as an occasional poster so will hopefully return to say his farewells as a mod and perhaps fill you in better than I can atm.

This was his 2nd stint as mod and despite ruling with an Iron fist at times he was always fair and consistant imo and the relative harmony and lack of trouble on this board in recent time is a reflection of this imo so id like to be the first to say thank you to him for all the time and work he put into it.

and no his departure does not mean therer is a mod place up for grabs that you should all be asking for, if a new mod is to be appointed you will be asked, you dont ask

Vince135792003

I stepped down as mod about 4 weeks ago and I'm still not "unbolded".
