SimpleSi Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 ...when the old computer you need to get the teachers stuff off to transfer to the new one doesn't have drivers for a mouse and can't find them on Windows Update ...the new printer the head wanted for their office arrived yesterday when I told them to deliver it AFTER half-term - the head now wants it installing today! ....and head SUDDENLY finds £20K and wants to blow it on IPads (cause they went to a high school and everyones got one and they can do everything!) ....and one of the computers in the suite has failed - no prob I thought - then the nursery nurse says that's the computer they've done all their assesments on and of course its not been saved to the backed up server - they been saved locally. (I blame the network manager for not giving enough training for that one myself!) so instead of a nice quiet end to the half-term - its panic stations. OK - I've had a cuppa now, see you all on the farside Simon
Danp Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Last day as in last day of term or last day in that role? Enjoy the tea and plot through the job, tell the head the printer will have to wait and go and blow his money on iPads, spending always gives me a smile, even bigger when it's not my money or budget!
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I'll sell you some iPads People spending always gives me a smile!
Millgate Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Funnily enough, I have too many iPads! What a coincidence!
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Funnily enough, I have too many iPads! What a coincidence! Your smiley also has shades. Mine is jealous! 1

Millgate Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 How many iPADs can I get for £20k? Depends what iPads you're after I suppose

rickjames Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 You let teachers buy what they want? Mental. 1
Earthling Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Just removed all the old pc's from one room, ready to install new ones on Monday, cable-tieing, joining to domain etc, probably be all over by Tuesday afternoon, giving me the rest of the week to re-image the other room in this block. The other tech's got the week off on holiday, so I'll be able to crank up the music and crack on - looking forward to it. I've sent a whole staff e-mail out telling them that the rooms will be unavailable for revision classes and catch-up. I did that when I replaced a room full of pc's this time last year, but I still had a teacher come in and try to use the room. 'Can't we use the ones you haven't taken away yet?'
