Joanne Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Found out our school has been paying 55k a year for the last 3 years in order to be in with BSF. Something about if they pay this money they will get £2m (sounds dodgy to me) Apparently all the schools in the borough have been doing this too. Glad I'm getting interviews at least! 1 step ahead
tech_guy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Sounds like the usual brown envelopes stuffed with moolah under the table scenario. God I hate BSF. Poor old Jo.
gaz350 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 they probably haven't been paying 55k, just that 55k has been withheld? we've had this issue that funding was being held back to be given to us at a later date, even though there is no sign of work starting on time and we need this money to run the existing school.(for now i think we won this battle and may only start to effect us in the final school year)
mrforgetful Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Forget out of BSF, I want out of the country all together it's all getting ridiculous. 1
mrforgetful Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Not too sure about the African continent.... And somewhere with sea/ocean
tech_guy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Not too sure about the African continent..... Well you said warm and cheap!?
mrforgetful Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 haha... I'm picky what can I say! Anyways, hometime, I'll have a think.
cookie_monster Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Thought BSF wasn't for a few years yet. Didn't think they could agree on what size shoe would fit all yet.
tech_guy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 BSF is some years away from our LEA but the dorsal fins are circling......
Joanne Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 AUSTRAILIA apparently they want IT pro's... warm and if you go to the right places cheap. Anyways... the info I am passing on came from the Deputy Head and they are wondering why they should bother funding the Computer Services Department if BSF is happening anyways So Confused. don't think anyone really knows what is going on. They can't decide on whether i'm gonna ever get paid a proper wage or anything... boo hoo for me! So gonna go and spend a ludicrous amount of money on a game... in the form on guitar hero 3 for the ps3... can't resist raining blood!!! Man. Cheer me up no ends hope tesco have it anyways!
Geoff Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Thought BSF wasn't for a few years yet. Didn't think they could agree on what size shoe would fit all yet. Blackburn in Lancashire is wave 2/3. Burnley has already been done (stop laughing at the back!).
tech_guy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Perhaps we should all get t-shirts printed with "I AM NOT A TONER DRONE. I AM A HUMAN BEING" on them?
localzuk Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 AUSTRAILIA apparently they want IT pro's... warm and if you go to the right places cheap. I've been looking into it, and once I have my MCSA and £5k, i'm off!
iatkinson Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've been looking into it, and once I have my MCSA and £5k, i'm off! Room in your suitcase for me?
Richie1972 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Blackburn is Wave 4 I think. Whatever wave we are, the IT Managed Services comes in during 2010. I'm already looking for another job (as are a number of my colleagues). I might end up coming back when they discover Managed Services don't work and try to fix the damage they've done by 2015 lol
Joanne Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 I had a rather positive interview on thursday... basically walked in and he showed me how to do everything.... then remembered it was an interview :-S hehe. Working nights here I come... (hopefully!!)
Richie1972 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I've had two interviews - both of which I'm waiting to hear about later this week (I've been told I'm the preferred candidate for one, but not sure I want that job ) Still, in Blackburn we have until 2010 to find other jobs
