I had an idea for a post and have now forgot what it was going to be about.  I keep meaning to put batteries in my audio recorder thing.  I think it was something to do with moths and driving in the dark ( Read more... )

It seems unfair that some professions can check their phones whenever they want and others cannot without appearing unprofessional or odd. I can't check mine either and so the injustice of it all burns, and causes me to have empathy with that band member.

I thought about watching Fargo too, but then realised Billy-Bob Thornton was in it and promptly changed my mind.

I'm starting to loathe you again because of Berlin.

I thought phone usage was acceptable pretty much everywhere now. I'm surprised lesson plans and calendars aren't accessed through some sort of electronic device. Does the school take a hard line on pupils who use their phone in class?

I don't really know much about Billy-Bob Thornton other than what you hear in the media. I hear he's pretty good in Fargo though.

You hate the good stuff in my life. What would you like me to send you from Berlin? Would that make it better?

Students can access their timetables through their phones, but they don't need to do that in class. Also, every student has a laptop given to them by the government so they are meant to access the internet and their timetable and calendars and everything else they need via that medium. The only time students are allowed to get out their mobile phones is if the teacher lets them listen to music while they work or if they need it to snap a picture of the board when they're feeling too lazybones to write out the notes.

A fantastic gift WOULD make it better, but then I'd feel guilty that you had to spend all your money on buying me a tiara.. so ultimately I think we're stuck with me hating all the good stuff in your life, Kezza :P

This all totally new to me. Government issued laptops? That would never happen here. You'd be luck if a school (never mind classroom) had enough laptops for one between two. I'm amazed that they take pictures of the board with their phone. That seems a bit too lazy.

Send me a text message with your second choice or a list of not acceptable gifts from Berlin and I'll see what I can do.
