Psst! Wanna make $500? Just give us the right name – National – theage.com.au

This article in the paper today reminded me that a request for ‘someone you know’ who is qualified, went out at our work this week. I think this could make great sense actually. You would think very carefully about recommending someone you know to work at ‘your’ work. After all, you would have to see them everyday so you would be reminded on a daily basis that it was your idea they work there.
It makes you realise the value of friendships and networks too, if you were seeking work.
I guess this is also another sign that in the future workplaces will need to work at attracting people.

Achey, tired and crumbly

Thirteen week terms – how did they ever do this back in the day. I feel so exhausted I could crumble. Last night we had parent teacher interviews. They weren’t late, but when I got home I just went to bed. I was cold and it felt the cold was coming from the inside.

I am Me by Virginia Satir

Today I am going to share ‘I am Me’ with some students because last night I dreamt about it. I remembered when I was at the Neighbourhood house and I put the poem up on the toilet wall and so many people commented to me that it made them feel good. I had forgot about it. I have been wondering how to improve some students self esteem. Last night I dreamt about that peice of writing and today I am going to act on that message and share it with them.
I am tired. There are only two days of school to go. We have parent teacher interviews tonight and a big school assembley today. My daughter is going to be assisting to run the school assembley so I am nervous for her and I hope it all goes well. She has high standards and expectations, which are admirable. I am looking forward to it and hoping for her that she is pleased with her results.
Last night we went out for dinner. I haven’t been out for dinner for a long time and the food was divine. We went to Neilsons in Traralgon and it was the most enjoyable meal out. The company was great too. Women I work with and see every day, yet we are always in a rush, so it was lovely to share leisurely and relaxed time with them.
On to the day!
