My day

Following the diaster of yesterday, I feel today has to be better.

Started day at 8am, ordered a pile of books for GCSE english course, must do a budget transfer later today! I'm terrible at remembering finance.

First job of the day is to re-write my CV, easy peasy, I have a completed and up to date version as a I am doing my chartership, but I am struggling with the section professional profil and creative practice section. Ok, after a cup of tea, I manage to type and drink. Finished that task and sent it to HR.

 As I have no teaching today, there is nothing major in my diary, I have a report to read on copyright and I have two reports I need to finish for SMT. Plus I could probably order a few more books and do the connected paperwork for contemporary craft.

Well my plan worked for all of ten minutes, when I relised that WilsonWeb has still not had the problem solved, needed to re-contact IT. Back to Copyright article.

Managed to last 20 minutes this time, before getting distracted- this time it was with tomorrow's display, it's on Brazil, so each member of the department has made a few carnival masks.

Finally managed to finish the document on copyright, it seems to have answered a few more questions I had on digital copyright, but created a few more.

Before lunch my plan is to work out the classmarks for the books that have arrived/ been donated to the college library, so one of the assistants can catalogue them. Will work on the SMT reports this afternoon. Hopefully.


It's 1.45pm and I have completed 2nd draft of the report for SMT, not sure how many drafts I need to create, so I think I am almost there. Very happy, once I have this report done about art and design libraries, I have managed to create a little network of art and design librarians, done some work on criteria 4 for my chartership and managed to (finger crossed) impress SMT.

Overall today has been pretty successful, managing to almost complete the report is a very big task, and doen two finance tasks, however I have broken my email account and can no longer communicate to the outside world.

the next three hours, will be spent- cataloguing books, not work on the report and giving my brain time to heal itself

Blog day

Some of my collegues arranged a blog day, sadly I wasn't unable to attend but manager to get hold of the power points afterwards. Read lots of interesting information. Some ofthe students at the college are using blogs as PDP, which is a very interesting idea.
