"Au revoir & confessions"

So today is my last day here at my job.
I started here almost 4 years ago and decided to join SR when I bought a PS2 on launch day, to complain about it being rubbish as a household convenience item.
And carried on from there.
I've moved departments 3 times, had a pay rise twice.
I slept with the girl from our Colombia office when she came over to here for 6 months. She thought it was a long-term thing, it wasn't. Whoops.
I've worked for 4 different bosses, 3 of which were fired after a few months - I think I *do* have magic powers because of this and I am happy.
Since joining this company, I have had 2 serious relationships and have managed to bag (as of today) 19 different notches. 1 of which is a ####-buddy, we meet maybe once a week and I leave the next morning.
I've joined the best band in the country, have recorded an album, done over 40+ gigs, supported Haven, The 45s & various others.
I've introduced people to Clutch, have been introduced to Fila Brazilia amongst others.
I've won almost 30 GADs courtesy of Special Reserve, for nothing more than writing absolute toss that, somehow, was deemed better than your stuff (Dont ask me how).
I've had 2 PS2s, 2 PCs, 1 Xbox and 1 Gamecube.

Seeing as this is my last day here, I'm not too sure how often I'll be posting in future. I'll pop along in the evenings and maybe at weekends just to catch up.
Teacher Training will follow.
I've no idea how that's going to end up, where I'll be or even if I'll be able to hack it but unless you try, you'll never know.

I've always espoused breaking rules, following your heart and not sitting idly by and watching the years tick away until you have no time left and a heart full of regret.
So I'm holding my nose, jumping in and seeing just how deep I can go.

Yes I'm excited, yes I'm happy. I'm also bloody terrified of what may come. But that, for me, is the ideal way to live.
I'll be posting throughout today, for my own amusement and that of others.
Cos that's what I do.

Thanks, I'll be here all day. Try the chicken, it's great.

Good luck Goat, hope it all goes well.

I didn't realise you liked that Fila Brazillia stuff that much, I have to say...

Anyway, cheers for all the laughs over the last couple of years. I hope we hear from you soon.

Goodbye Goat_Bloke, I call you this now.

I am now the only tart on the forum…worrying.

Good luck with the whole teacher thing. No joke here, it takes some real balls to stop a job that pays “safely” to take up something you really want to do.

I hope it goes well for you. Kids are the biggest bast*rds out there…beware, I warn yea…

Bye Goaty. Its been good whilst it lasted.

Ciao4now.

Some tips for teaching:

When first introducing yourself to class make it obvious you're not someone to mess around with and will be a cool teacher if the class doesn't act like a bunch of morons.

Balance proper class work and structured stuff with more personal, heart felt talks etc to class

Try and get class discussions going

When giving someone into trouble... intelligently embarass them infront of class. No point with punishment exercise and making them go outside... just encourages them.

Well, errr remember that for a few years time.

Can I cry??

0:)

Felt appropriate:

Watching The Wheels
John Lennon

People say I'm Crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

People asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels fo round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

bah?

*pokes head around the door*

So it's safe for me to return now, right?

:p

Ermm... yeah any way to redirect this a little your tagline suggests you hate Belldandy. (see Belldandy's tagline)
