Unemployment, travelling and smoking thread. Apparently.

[Haden]

And thats why you never doubt Ashleys ability to get a job.

 

Congrats.

[Dan_Dare]

Congrats Ashley! (btw you smell like ass face!)

[Fierce_LiNk]

(btw you smell like ass face!)

 

Haha.

 

Well done, Ash. Clearly you slept your way to the top (or the bottom, whatever) but credit given where credit is due. Well done.

:p

[Ashley]

Congrats Ashley! (btw you smell like ass face!)

 

You'd know wouldn't you ass face?

 

Thanks peeps

 

And Mur; its disability support worker. Basically I go to lectures (with or without the student if they are capable (which I'm personally reading 'can be bothered to' )) and take notes, then type it up and send it off to the student. So its all the fun of lectures with none of the pressure of remembering anything

 

Considering most of the people from my course failed or are retaking a year and/or semester I could end up in a class full of people I know.

[Jimbob]

Congrats to the Ashmyster.

 

Wish i had more luck getting work (should do really, if i put a tad more effort into it). Still, 3 months is nearly long enough i think.

Do you take like a dictaphone [Home Alone always made me want to have one] avec camera to film shit?

[Dan_Dare]

I'm actually getting the support Ashley will be delivering for my uni course. I'm getting my own Dictaphone but filming something would be a huge waste of time. (I'll also be getting slides and notes from lecturers)

[Ashley]

I think filming is rather unnecessary...

 

I don't get a dictaphone but the student will, as it comes in the "got any kind of disability, big or small,? get this pack of goodies!"....pack.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Well, I got a phone call the day before yesterday from Hayes Education, my teaching agency. The lady there had got me some work! I spent yesterday morning teaching World War 2, The Haka (!!!) and The Witch's Spell from Macbeth to Year 6 Pupils. The school was in Ystad Mynach, just past Caerphilly, took me about an hour on two trains to get to it. But, had a lovely time there. The headmistress told me that there is a job coming up soon and that I should go for eet.

 

I rang my agency today and got told that the school liked me, wohoooo. I'm going to another school on Wednesday morning for some more supply work. Hopefully something will come up next week as well.

 

I'm a supply teacher, baaaaby.

[Dan_Dare]

you need a beard, then.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I will get a beard when my people are free.

[Dan_Dare]

hahahaahahahaahahahaha!

Not to be rude or nosey, but are how are you able to have this? I didn't know you had a "disability" as such?

[jayseven]

Dan's got gaids.

 

Congrats ash and Flink! I am currently too tired to feel envious of your better pay, hours, and benefits.

[Ashley]

I thought teachers got beards during the holidays? I went for coffee with my teacher friend (/brother from another coloured mother) during the summer and he was sporting a holiday beard.

I think Dan is dyslexic. The whole system (which I'm now part of :p) is stupid really. Any disability, from dyslexia to deafness is treated the same. Get a lump sum of money for "books", dictaphone (although I suppose deaf people don't get that...), a computer/laptop, printer and what not.

I said today "I don't work weekends" which felt fucking great. I'm also looking forward to my month off at xmas

 

Congrats Flink. Teach your little socks off!

I still regret not claiming for my dyspraxia after seeing all the sweet shit and extra time in exams my mate with dyslexia got.

[Raining_again]

If I recall, Dan of the Dare has a lot more than just dyslexia. (not to say dyslexia is easy before flaming)

[Haden]

My mate defiantly just had dyslexia and to be fair he probably needed the extra time but the equipment was over the top imo. Dyspraxia is a bit different I don't know if any extra time would have helped me cause of the nature of it. I would have liked shiny things though.

 

Congrats to Flinky btw I always had faith!

[jayseven]

Yeah dan also has Gaids. Why are you people not listening to me?!

[Dan_Dare]

I have mild Cerebral Palsy. Nothing serious, mind, so hey ho!

 

Dan's got gaids.

 

 

.

 

Common mistake, there.

 

I think Dan is dyslexic.

 

Dude, what? :p

[Daft]

Dyslexia, smishlexia. Life doesn't give you 25% extra time. Ambulance drivers don't get extra time.

 

 

 

You may think that that's a harsh view. You'd be right.

[Chris the great]

i have dyspraxia, and i needed the extra time, dyspraxia is a co-ordination dissorder, the extra time simply helped me make my hand writting more readable, fair enough i say, as in real life im very rarly hand wrriting large ammounts of text against the clock for some one else to read.

[Paj!]

Yeah, but you may as well exploit what you can. People do that in life, even if it's not fair. Life isn't fair.

 

I'll get extra time in written exams, and could probably claim I need extra time for deadlines on written work, as I have a mild, unusual dyslexic profile (shite at maths, good at English, which is rare for someone to be diagnosed with a dyslexic profile).

 

I'm allowed to exploit that, so I will (If I feel the need to).

 

(Plus in exams I genuinely needed the extra time)
