Have to show a video on childbirth to some kids soon. Watched one to prepare myself. Now terrified. If I can't handle it, what will they do!!

I'm sure I watched a video on childbirth when I was in year 8. And I'm also pretty sure it traumatised me for about three years.

oh well. Education is great!

Okay, apparently you have really sensitive year 7s.
Tell them when the gross bits are coming up, so they can look away.
Ergh.

I assumed the one with the birth video that Phoebe gives Rachel, which gets, um, mixed up.

"Hm, maybe it starts with how she *gets* pregnant..."

Ah I just read childbirth, didn't see the video bit.

I don't get showing a video to expectant mothers. Every birth is different, and frankly, it's horrifying to watch one with all the screaming and roaring! My midwife had a knitted uterus, placenta and umbilical cord and a doll, and it demonstrated labour grand for me!

I was addicted to One Born Every Minute when pregnant - didn't put me off at all, and they only show the dramatic ones!

I'm so booooooored today.

Send coffee. It's a poor replacement for sleep but it will do for now...

9 days to go, flying to Shannon next Wednesday! Trying to get as much as possible done in work over the next few days, but my brain is half in holiday mode already.

Got a phonecall today to arrange an interview for an internship I would love, fingers crossed it goes well & I can get my foot in the door.

Long long day at work again, early start because the papers I needed to work on at home i had left at work yesterday, and had to have the stuff done by 11 so i could use it for teaching. Full day of teaching followed by parents evening. Just so wrecked now.

Girls have four maths exams in these two weeks, and the first one was usnig Data. They get a data sheet with information and can be asked questions based on that information. I went back through past papers, which there was three years worth and the specification for the exam, my questions were nearly identical to the ones that came up!! Assistant headteacher, who is also a maths teacher, said it to me on Tuesday after the exam that she heard my questions were bang on the money, I met her today and she had obviously seen the paper, and was completely freaked out how I managed to get the numbers correct for certain questions as well. Just hope I have predicted tomorrows as well as I did Mondays. This whole thing has meant Ive gotten buggar all other work done, but at least my head of department has seen the work I've put in to help the rest of the department with them.

My shiny new keyboard for my ipad arrived today, only problem is that when I want to go and move something, my finger instinctly goes towards the area under the space bar where my tracker pad for my laptop would be - have some time to get used to it, but will be fairly handy for work, when i need to see the whole screen while typing things

The voting was a pain in the arse tbh, so I'm extra grateful to anyone who did

Lads I am running on pure empty the last week or two! not back to work til Wednesday though \o/

Precious flower · 16-05-2015 5:33pm

Just started working a café and it's insane that after a four hour shifts my feet are always in bits. Had a six hour shift the other day and I had to take painkillers because the pain in my calves from standing and moving, and that was only for six hours! I suppose I've spent that last four years of university sitting down :pac: so I'm kind of glad to have a job that requires me to stand for a while. Hopefully, my legs will get used to it and toughen up. Café work puts you through your paces though. You never really see the hard work people are doing until your on the other side of the counter and I think a lot of people take that for granted, myself included.
I was stress eating (chocolate, lots of chocolate) the first few days but I have to cut that out. I can't exercise in the evenings but I must make an effort to do some in the morning like I was prior to this. And do some yoga too

Had cleaners in during the week to do a big clean of my house, was seriously disappointed at the job.

Not only did they not do what they were supposed to, but a load of cosmetics from moisturiser and body lotion to lip gloss have disappeared along with a tweezerman tweezers, some nail grooming tools and other small things

Not sure if they threw them out or puput them away somewhere but some of what's missing was on my bedside locker

In total so far there's over a hundred euros worth of stuff to replace if I don't find it

Oh you will definitely get used to it.. When I started working I used to be in tears when I'd get home, now I can work a 9/10 hour shift without my feet or legs hurting - even when I was 8.5 months pregnant!

A friend might have a (really) old laptop for me. €50 and he'll get it up and running and have office software on it. Even if it doesn't have the internet it'll be grand. All I want it for is so I can take it somewhere and work on my novel somewhere that isn't my bedroom. I'm getting a real cabin fever thing going on.
