Pretty much. Discussion with other practices reveals they have spent weeks training their staff - everyone from receptionists to doctors. We also use around 6-7 third party software which we need to check is supported. Some of it can be done within the new program but need to see whether it can achieve the same standards/expectations.

Waiting for the IT department to upgrade Office on my PC to 2010. Screw it - if they don't upgrade it I can't do any work!

We're still on XP and think they'll keep us on it for the new program. I wonder if there'll be new OS with the new hardware. Doubt it TBH.

The commoners here are still on XP but us ITers have Windows 7

'we thought you might be interested in this offer from our trusted partner..'

[LIFTED] off. I don't trust YOU, let alone care who you trust, and I don't think much of you getting around the privacy regulations by some idiotic proxy arrangement where you effectively sell my details to all and sundry.

I have little time for my colleague, who puts me forward for the teaching thing, then spends today doing sweet FA while I'm doing all the getting ready stuff we should be doing ready for the term time, on top of the last minute 'Please mend it' stuff and trying to prep a little bit for the class. He's spent literally all day editing his own personal work. Starting to piss me off.

I'm timetabled to teach a group of IT students at 09:00. I was meant to be teaching them maths, (that's what it says on my timetable) but I have just been told that I am actually meant to be teaching them English. Marvellous!

was at airfield today with friend, vibe was somewhat "evil" not been in ages, friend talking to this weird rough looking english man and he started staring at me as though he doesn't want me here. Im thinking "wtf" dog in distance is doing a pee and hes like "I HOPE YOU WILL REMOVE THAT DEPOSIT! " and I was just about to tell him to go f*** himself but I thought better not as I assumed he was friend of my friend so I said "what deposit?" and he was like "THAT DEPOSIT THAT YOUR DOG MADE! " and I said "It's a girl and that was a pee

disgusting slimy old c*** next time ill let my dog pee on his face "dont worry that was just a pee too"

You seem to be a very angry young man Bratty. Have you thought of smashing up melons or something? I hear thats a good release.

I don't know any airfield spotters, but I do know a few plane spotters. The ones I know are all very nice people.

maybe because they are half greek cypriots?

No, they're all "foreign" English.


So... that was yesterday morning's balls up. Yesterday afternoon's lesson was completely right on my timetable.

Except for the start time.

Oh, and the subject being taught.

Ooh, hang on, let's not forget the name of the group, (who I have never met before) which wasn't right either.

I suppose I should also mention the fact that they didn't tell me the correct duration of the lesson.

Apart from that, it was all 100% A OK!

Except for the location of the session. So, to summarise, they managed to get EVERYTHING COMPLETELY WRONG!

Did you watch the TV show Teachers? I'm on the final series on 4OD. Maybe you should watch it

I will give it a go, Caz... you managed to reply before my sneaky ninja edit!
