As I am sitting in school, freezing my nuts off in the unheated hell that is my office,, waiting for a child that patently is not going to turn up, I thought I'd reminisce about the holiday I just had.

( warning. Some serious holiday smugness )

Raisies a preverbal glass. (:

Top holiday. We must, absolute must, make a habit of the city-hopping international-noise-festival-celebrity lifestyle.

You do really need a new icon (:

starting to look quite dated, isn't it... I'll borrow Laura's digital camera when she's around

get Badger to draw you a portrait in MSPaint, if it's half as good as his maps... (:

You should have taken me as interpreter! Glad you had a good trip, as it were. How much does a taxi from London to Luton airport cost, anyway? I'm flying to Athens the morning after seeing Errasure (YYYYAAAAAAAYYYYY!) so I guess I'll need to find suitable transport.

purple_emma February 20 2005, 21:02:03 UTC

It cost 42 cash dollar. It is cheaper on the train, and the train goes from Kings Cross Thameslink, so it's quite convenient.

42 cash dollar? Me love you veeeeery long time for that price. Maybe train clickety thumpety better option.

purple_emma February 22 2005, 11:12:51 UTC

I reckon so, if the train is running. Plus there is a bus from Luton station to the airport. I am jealous of you holidaying types. Or is it work?

The picture of me is not particularly attractive, but the fun shines through and the fat chap next to me is the one who kept offering me white powders.

I like the evil mechanical insect. And the girl with a loudhailer and a mic, just in case.

*high five* for holidays!

*shrug* to being back at work

*fingers crossed* for exit strategies . . .

purple_emma February 21 2005, 16:40:49 UTC

Hell, yeah on the fingers crossed. I just wish that there were exit interviews for teachers. Let them learn a thing or two about the real face of teaching!

evalgo_iavot February 22 2005, 13:28:45 UTC

cea'll send you a pissy questionnaire which gives you no opportunity to state the *real* reasons for leaving

do you have irons in the application fire?

purple_emma February 22 2005, 14:26:18 UTC

At the moment, I have starvation pangs as I am only allowed liquids today. But there will be lookage as I am recovering.

Sad thing is, I have been worn away again by the school and am thinking of staying. Help!
