What sector do you work in

[ahuxham]

Secondary boys (900 of the little ............ darlings!!).
Wouldn't be so bad if we had an SLT that backed us up when we try and impose sanctions for misuse. Slapped wrist and 2 days sitting at home enjoying himself for putting sushi in the paper tray of an HP 4650 to "see if it came out flat". Cost of repairs - £1066.00. No money in the budget and a new one would only cost about £850.
AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I did laugh.

I'm sorry.

Started working in schools supporting a single secondary. Moved to private sector supporting more than 100 schools, primary and secondary, special needs and PRUs [telephone and on-site support visits] for an LEA in a team of 4 technicians then moved back to supporting a single secondary school [1200 students and more than 120 staff]

1. The extreamly high quality of information contained within the forums and accesable by posting a question.

I wish I could agree with that when a few of my "more complicated" problems have gone unanswered

I'm in the "other" camp. Work at an e-Learning centre providing support for the consultants here. Started here as a contractor a few months ago, and loved it. When they advertised for the permanent role, I jumped at it.

All my previous experience has been in the private sector, and I have been contracting since 1995. Prior to that I was in banking starting as a computer operator on Burroughs (Unisys) mainframes in 1974 and ended up as a change control co-ordinator.

As an aside, when I informed my careers master that I had got a job in computing, he told me I was stupid as there was no future in computing. He strongly advised me to take up a position he had secured for me as an apprentice armature winder . Advice I am grateful to have ignored, I have to say.
