Job Agencies!!!!!

Got to the designated job only to get several text messages and voice mail to tell me the job is no longer open.Told to go to another school 'just around the corner'.
No map so get directions over the phone,get lost twice in heavy traffic(Southampton has the craziest traffic system),find the school and into first lesson 10 minutes after it has started...Then at the end of the day not having a clue where the hell I am I have to find my way back home.

Finally get home to find out that the job had been re designated on Friday but the agency 'forgot' to tell me as they had let slip to my husband over the phone...

They are complete liars as the school was considerably further away than just round the corner...

@ Maggy.

Is this the only Agency that you can use? They sound really unprofessional.

Nah! they don't appeal and night classes are poorly paid and have lots of other tiresome issues especially in my particular speciality..Pottery and art.

I like teaching I just hate the supply agency and their economising with the truth.

A few years ago I was considering doing a pottery course at a summer school whilst John was working away, that was until I saw how much it was going to cost. WOW those special holiday courses sure were expensive!

It's a pity you can't set something up similar. A weeks work for a months pay. Perfect equation.

Not heard of it before, just googled it. What's the moan? That they stopped making it, trouble with the codec, or something else?

Ah, right. Well, you've mentioned having more time on your hands since you moved, & you've also mentioned the idea of learning a new programming language, & if I recall correctly you have a Radeon 3850, so how about grabbing AMD's SDK & having a go at making your own recoder?

No, I mean the evil Dolphin. I am only hoping he pegs it by the end of season 2.....

I only originally watched the first half of season one - I am working my way through it now. I don't know why but I am developing a serious hatred for that dolphin.

DARWIN good - DARWIN help..... DARWIN play...

Darwin go play with the nuke - that'd be fun...
