Another day of uni - classroom management today. Was slightly less than enthused. I think this week is catching up on me. Tomorrow I have two hours of maths.

I was calling centrelink this afternoon and they put me on hold. A long hold. So I decided to pick up my knitting and knit while I waited. Finally I get through

Centrelink operator: How can I help you?
Me: I need to report my earnings for the fortnight
CO: Um, what benifit are you getting?
Me: Youth Allowance.
CO: Well they've put you through to retirement. Just wait a second and I'll transfer you over . . .

Sure, I was knitting, but I'm not that old!

I was trying to devise a lesson plan for grade fives about democracy in Ancient Greece. I was thinking about how, after explaining and comparing it to today's democracy, you could create a mini Ostracism. You could put four identities up and the students would have to vote on which one was most dangerous. Or you could practise drawing lots . . .

I ventured into the exciting world of reading unreced Harry Potter fan fic tonight. Just for record, I will close the story if in the first paragraph a Mary-Sue is referred to by full name and power, or someone uses the term 'Prongsie'

We had "file management" today... also "be nice to the staff", and "you will be trained in using the telephone later this year".

And tomorrow we start two and a half days of Accounts. The exact same Trust Accounting that we did at Uni last year. *sigh*

Heh. The centrelink people need the 'how to use the phone' lesson.

I have an Ainsley icon for you. I should work on the Laura one this weekend if I'm not too snowed under.

I was on the phone to Centrelink today, too. Just to get a form at this stage - I'm trying to claim Austudy, but who knows.

And Ainsley... squee!

They didn't put you through to retirement did they . . . *g*

I should write more Ainsley. And finish the Zoe and Tom (not Zoe/Tom) story I have going at the moment
