hoorah for the weekend....

...but curse my IBS for kicking off. Still, I can add that excuse to the work avoidance list. High spot of the past week has to be doing a "Friday" dance for the cleaners to the tune of the can can. No wonder my student looks permanently worried.

no wonder 1 in 3 of us want to leave

2 depressing things happened today:
Firstly, three quarters of my class have clearly drunk deeply from the pool of stupidity over Christmas.
Secondly, my 22 year old teaching student has never heard of The Smiths or Morrissey. I am still in shock.

classic work avoidance techniques
Posted Jan 5, 2003
I'm SUPPOSED be planning for my first week's teaching after the Christmas break. Not easy to do with a heady mix of seroxat, zopiclone, harvey wallbanger and pot still coursing through the blood from the night before.I had to celebrate my last night of being me before I'm back to the deadly role of spinster-primaryschool-vauxhall corsa-driving-teacher-with-two-cats-as-an-unhealthy-family-substitute.
Anyway, nearly there. Plus I've got a student this term, so I can make him do most of the work (HE HE) . I would have finished hours ago, of course, if I hadn't had to keep stopping to:
1. Check the price of flights to San Francisco ( hoping to go in August, so obviously it's ESSENTIAL I do it now)
2. De-flea both cats ( not a popular move).
3. Eat a large box of leftover xmas Choccies.
4. Ring best friend to see if she won on the horses yesterday)
5. Peel veg.
6. obsess about our man Ford.
7. Ponder on whether to do the ironing ( nah- some things even make working look tempting)
8. make anothe cup of coffee.
9. check to see if both cats are still breathing.
10. put rubbish out.
11. check to see if price of flights has gone down in last 30 minutes.
12. spend 20 minutes looking for mate's phone number in Hull then decide I can't be arsed ringing anyway.
13. check on latest score from the mighty reds, even though I dont really follow footie ( 1-0 : big up to Danny Murphey)
14, Daydream about unreal blue eyes.
15. check chicken is defrosting.
16. chase ginger cat away from defrosting chicken.
17. write this drivel.
Ah well, back to planning how to teach onomatopoeia to a bunch of semi-literate delinquents.
My mate Bernie claimed I wouldn't have anything to write in this journal other than "egg and chips for tea" and "wore the grey satin pyjamas today". hah! I proved him wrong, reading back, what a full satisfying life I lead...
Think I'll put the lilac fleecy pyjams on now; after all: it's past midday.
