HonestIago Started conversation Oct 7, 2013
Spent a little time in Huddersfield A&E yesterday after an Iago special (tripping over and injuring myself) and whilst I was being treated for a fairly impressive cut to my chin I was chatting about my job (I suspect they were testing for a concussion).
The nurse asks me if I work in a nice school (I think the "boys' school" bit catches people out) and my response was pretty telling: "God no, it's awful, but I love the job." and I meant every word. There's no denying the place is very difficult with a lot of severe issues but at the same time I genuinely love my work. I've managed to carve myself a niche at the madhouse and gotten to a place where I'm passionate and proud of the work I do.
It also struck me that in February I'll have been there for 5 years. How far I've come.

The usual way: my feet and chin deciding, without asking my brain, that they'd rather switch positions. My chin likes to remember how concrete feels and my feet get tired of that whole 'holding my body up' thing.

Yeah. You do seem to have become a lot more positive about it over the past while.
