A more restful day today.
Putting up those dexion thingies that you hang plastic drawers off.
Well, not so much putting them up, more watching two other people putting them up.
Infinitely more relaxing than driving that damn little red van up & down the hill...
Still too hot though.

Well the academic staff and some of the kiddies are back today...
Total chaos in the carpark this a.m.
Joy.
Still carting crap up the hill. On my own. Driving a little red van. In the blazing heat... (unusual for Wales one must confess).
My reversing is improving though.
It's resit week. Never had those when I was a lad.
You just repeated the whole year.
Now they jump through hoops to get the idle little bastards to pass.

I've reconsidered that last remark.
You can't teach students these days anyway.
Classic question yesterday from student:
"What's pseudocode?".
Followed by:
"What's a flowchart".
Oh dear.
Only 5 days left for him to resubmit...

Now there's a thought.
I should have flooded swansea bay & floated the stuff up the hill.
Might have been quicker than those lifts & the peugot van.
Praise be to the mighty Zarquon, but it's now almost finished...
One mostly empty lab & another lab full to the brim with cardboard boxes.
Should be able to teach students sometime in January...

First heart attack? Not to worry, zeit. It's only when you get an attack in your sixteenth heart you will be in trouble.

If it's an electronics lab then best get designing an anti-grav machine pronto!

Well, at last it's almost at an end...
Now have one lab empty apart from redundant benches, and another lab full to the brim with cardboard boxes.
And term starts soon....
