The positive side to working in IT within schools.
spacebar replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
Working in schools there is always something going on, you have a massive (most secondary schools) site to look after, whoever you are tech or manager. People are very nice to you (most of the time) because they just want you to fix things. People are much more easier going about getting things fixed, as long as you are doing a decent enough job. As a tech starting out you have much more opportunity to get involved in systems and see how things work. At many large corporations this isn't the case. Most teachers and school staff in any school, normally fall into certain types of people, most of them are nice. I have encountered some real nasty people, but these people never seem to last long, a school is a community, it doesn't matter what level you are at, if you are nasty to people, in the end it will lead to your own downfall. One guy I knew thought he was important, he wasn't, but treated everyone like trash, nobody wanted to deal with him, teachers were afraid of him, everything seized up, it begun to effect the school teaching, suddenly he was gone....... I am sure in some schools these types of people manage to stay put, but in the end, it will come back to bite them. In a business, I am sure these people would have no problem staying put! Having worked in the private sector, in an office, I would never go back, I hated it, even though the pay was much higher. Unfortunately I need more cash, so may well have to find a compromise, universities seem the best bet...... -

Future Of 1p And 2p Coins Questioned By Treasury - BBC News
spacebar replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
The arcades will keep the coins just for this purpose. Alternately create tokens that the existing machines will accept. Surely cheaper to use collect a load of old coins. I think it is a good idea. The coins are so old also.- 53 replies

Sky seem to think they are pretty much bust. "on the brink". I'm a PC world reject. They want salesman, not technical people. There is a store 15 minutes from me, I have never been there, because the Tesco is closer. I try to avoid these sort of stores, because you have staff trying to annoy you and offer "advice" which most of the time is wrong or trying to get you to burn more money. Toys R Us is also in the same position, and if both go bust, it will result in 6000 job losses according to Sky.

School banned 'Extreme Hairstyles', including "Meet me at McDonald's"
spacebar replied to DalekSec's topic in General Chat
What is wrong with this hairstyle? they could be skinheads! As long as it does not interfere with learning, it should be allowed, excluding artificial colours. Maybe the rule was created by a bald guy with a grudge? http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02701/kim_2701423k.jpg -
Liking the look of it, doesn't look to off the board like before, will give it a go.

There was a photo on BBC news of a factory full of chicken and nowhere for it to go. Total shambles but will be forgotten quickly. Same photo sourced from the Sun.
