Which is kind of surprising, because I hadn’t given much thought to anything AMM (that’s After Monday Morning by the way), but here I am, surprised to find myself living in that unexpected epoch. Have you ever been so focused on one key event that you can’t seem to […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: March 1st, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Random Musings | The Job. 4 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)This morning I discovered that the latest UK TV channel to be rebranded will be their history channel. Sometime in the next few days, UKTV History will actually be history, but fear not, it will be reborn and rebranded as ‘Yesterday’. So what difference wll that make? Er, not much actually, judging by the fact […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 3rd, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job | Weather. Comments are closedThere was a lot of talk on the news today about schools geting the day off. In fact that’s true for an awful lot of my colleagues in other local schools. (Enjoy your day off YP!) Would I get the day off? That would be an unexpected bonus. Very unexpected in fact, because I assessed […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 12th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. 3 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Up early today, although I can’t add the usual ‘bright and’ to that statement. After a somewhat disturbed night of strong winds (huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down) and torrential rain (which would not normally enter the actual house, but managed to sneak in by landing on the absorbent furry back […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 11th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. 5 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Where is my weekend going? Why is it rushing past at light speed when I have so much to do? Last month, after weeks and weeks of dithering, I finally decided it was time to think about looking for a new job. Postings here were a bit sparse as I spent time rejigging my CV, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 9th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Ask the Internet | Going on at great length and boring everyone to tears | My Life | Random Musings | The Job. 10 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Is it really a week since I last posted? It appears so. One whole week of stuff to tell you, some of it quite interesting, but sadly, you’re getting the edited low lights. Unlucky you. (This is the point where good manners dictate that I say stop reading, look away now, go and read something […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 2nd, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job | Weather. 3 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Well that was quite an exciting day. And it’s not over yet. First up: snow. There was none when we woke up. Not a single snowflake. Lots of ice though, so I decided to set off early. St Mr TLC decided to scrape the ice off the car for me. He looked out of the […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 19th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Languages | Random Musings | The Job. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)“Miss, you know that Mr Smith?” Mr Smith is our careers advisor, so obviously I do. “Yes, of course.”“Is he a secret agent?” A secret agent. Wow, I hope so. Although obviously it’s somewhat unlikely. “Maybe. What gave him away?” “Well, when Sads went for his careers interview, he said he could speak Spanish and […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 11th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: The Job. Comments are closedThere is something very powerful about silence, particularly when standing in the midst of a group that would normally be anything but silent. Today there was an act of remembrance at my school. A time shift of a few minutes brought this into the middle of morning break. Normally this is a noisy time, a […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 6th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Spurious lists | The Job. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Five reasons why today could have been a really bad one: 1. For me, there’s only one thing that always triggers asthma symptoms. Fireworks. To say that Bonfire Night is not my favourite day of the year would be a major understatement. 2. Several days of being wrapped in fog/cloud/smog isn’t helping matters. A nice […] |
