Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I am going to BETT---yay---its a miracle!!! where's numfar when you need him!!!
X-13 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Erm... Congratulations? I think I'm going this year. I missed it last year, but our HT wants to take the IT Co-ordinator and myself. [He went last time and didn't stop talking about it.]
Hightower Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I'll not be going this time. Attended 2011, and 2009, and personally I think it's a complete waste of time.
bandgeekmafia78 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Its not a waste of time if you manage to discover the nice pubs in Kensington 1
Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 It means i can get out of my little hole, and actually see some equipment instead of default buying from RM. Can you tell i never get to go anywhere???
X-13 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Can you tell i never get to go anywhere??? A challenger appears! I only go to 2 places. Work and the area of "the comic shop". For all intensive porpoises, I'm a hermit.
north-ict Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Yup im going too with Head an ICT coordinator in tow went last year was informative. Out of curiosity whose going to be there from edugeek?
jedmondson Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I shall probably be going. passably on the Friday.
glennda Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 instead of default buying from RM. Corr you will be able to save shed loads of money!
Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 I have 2 months to get over my fear of downwards escalators. A challenger appears! I only go to 2 places. Work and the area of "the comic shop". For all intensive porpoises, I'm a hermit. OK so i did go to the RM technical seminars, and some share point training, but apart from that all i do is paperwork!! I need days out seeing equipment, not looking at it on web! Also get to use my food card thingy! always good!! although training is classed as work- so work, home, and tesco's is about al i go to.
X-13 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Corr you will be able to save shed loads of money! Hardware wise, yes. But considering that schools who buy from RM usually have RM support contracts too, contracts which only cover RM hardware, you either have an increased support cost to cover non-RM hardware or you need to fix all these things yourself. As you're reporting it to RM you obviously can't fix it [Or don't have the time to fix it], so you're going to have to get someone in. [Or get overtime.] It's swings and roundabouts.
elsiegee40 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Well done meadowgirl I'm going Saturday and probably Friday too

We have a contract with our local Tech Services Team that covers all our hardware and stuff with plugs, they even fix rm stuff-- costs less than you would think. They take away fix, bring back, tell us what the fault was, then i have a go at said teacher!!

The RM guys are quick but always respond by sending someone out, even if I just want advice on something. The LEA take a while and don't tell me what they did...
tech_guy Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 A challenger appears! I only go to 2 places. Work and the area of "the comic shop". For all intensive porpoises, I'm a hermit. So, for porpoises that are less intensive you're not a hermit? 2
Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 RM are a bit slow on the uptake here, but our LEA guys, leave me work notes saying what they have done, if not, smile sweetly, act dumb, and they tell all!
rad Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Friday too for me, I go in early, escape and then get a long weekend....
X-13 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 if not, smile sweetly, act dumb, and they tell all! I'm a 23 year old man with a beard. Our LEA supplied contact is an older gentleman. This is not a viable option for me. So, for porpoises that are less intensive you're not a hermit? Indeed. To them I'm a pretty cool guy. I mess aboot with compooters and don't afraid of anything. Also, I'm glad someone actually caught that.
Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 I'm a 23 year old man with a beard. Our LEA supplied contact is an older gentleman. This is not a viable option for me. can't comment........ chocolate and coffee bribes work just as well!!
X-13 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 can't comment........ You could. But, it would be ill advised.
Earthling Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Can you tell i never get to go anywhere??? Yes.
bandgeekmafia78 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Is it just me that goes to BETT as an excuse to get drunk on company expenses?!
somabc Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Its not a waste of time if you manage to discover the nice pubs in Kensington There are many nice Pubs in Kensington
ButterflyMoon Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Get to go to BETT I wish.................somebody has to stay here minding the shop!!!
Scifigirl Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Looks like it will be the Friday............ Im not superstitous!?!?
