Re: A new start (kind of)
Even though that particular site is not ideal it will give you a little money coming in and that will help @TAB If it is only for a week then you can get through that. It is good that the second one isn't as bad and you may get ongoing work from it.
My day was good - worked with some kids and have a better idea of what I will be doing over the week. Actually looking forward to going back on Thursday.

Not a huge fan of Wade but he has had an awesome year and really deserved the award @TAB
I guess you can only try out the work place and try to get through for a short period - it certainly would help you out financially for a while.

George Bailey is my favourite but I think he is a lot of people's favourite - he is such a lovely, down to earth kind of guy @TAB
Whatever work you get out of it will be good to keep your head above water a little - see what happens hey.

Bailey was the captain until this year where he stepped back from that role and Wade was made captain @TAB

Re: A new start (kind of)
Hi @MDT @TAB @Zoe7 and others following this thread. Hope your days were good. I trust @Zoe7 that you’re still in get-to-know kids & teachers mode as you roam between allocated classrooms? Are you physically 100per cent (can the same be said for mentally?!!! For any of us ever??!!). Still an abstainee @TAB ? Was brunch pleasant @MDT & are you easing up on yourself? I had 2 excellent days where I felt alive & joyful. Last night I got a little harassed by the endless recruitment process of electronic uploads to multiple data bases involving nonfunctional logins & blah blah blah and managed to get barely any sleep despite feeling ok mood-wise. Anyway, I was tired today & tortured myself with with more government website uploading of documents & went to the movies (if feeling depressed, I would apply caution if considering Mary Queen of Scots). I had a phone call from a teacher about my year 8 child’s behaviour in class eg. not focusing on tasks (eg. viewing pics on his lap top possibly tryingbto impress neighbours instead of listening to teacher & entering science data). Sounds silly but that pushes my buttons (I haven’t given the child enough structure, boundaries, work ethic, positive peer group STOP STOP STOP ! To make matters worse the year 12 one spontaneously wanted me to read an exemplar English essay on private vs public schools (pro the latter) & has counselled me in how to parent his younger sibling! I don’t want the year 8 one to go to a strict/restrictive private school because I don’t think it would suit his quirkiness & he’s confirmed he likes things “easy” & he doesn’t want to go to an “uptight” private school! All this within 24 hours of my resolution to make the best of our very relaxed/slack/drug supplied local high school (the uniform is interpreted by individuals in a post-modernist way) & to not entertain any more ruminations about it! On the positive all 5 of us had dental checkups with no work required (up until braces for the year 8 one next year!). Sleep well forumites, especially @Shaz51
