Holiday Time July 17, 2007

I am now on holiday. The only reason I make that statement is that even after 20yrs in education I still have to explain to people that as an local government employee of East Lothian Council I do not get the same holidays as the teaching staff.
So what goes on when the teachers vacate the building. Well, over the past couple of weeks there have had teams of workmen installing interactive whiteboards and ceiling mounting projectors throughout the school.
Ollie Bray popped in for a couple of days to oversee the installation and I know many staff will think him a bit loopy coming in his holidays but having a senior member of management on site turned out to make sense as he was able to iron out the inevitable glitches that occured at the beginning of such a large project. As far as I know everything should be in place by the time the teaching staff return.
While all that was going on I managed to have a good look around the department replacing items that have been “displaced” from their rightful storages and topping up various solutions, I caught up with a whole load of paperwork that needed attention, and finished a bunch of little jobs that needed seeing to.
I should really have been writing this from the south of France but due to circumstances outwith my control I had to cancel at the last minute and therefore will be enjoying the delights of the Scottish summer for yet another year.
Had better look out my waterproofs then.
