I don’t know with home schooling if we will ever have a definitive start, sure the will be the day when daisy doesn’t start school, but by then we will probably be way into the swing of things.
Today could be counted as a start too: when I got home, Daisy and Mummy where desperate to tell me about what daisy could now do. it seems we’ve had an afternoon, of very basic phonics and Daisy can recognise SAT, SAM and AM, and she had ago at SAD although she doesn’t really know D.
‘school’ today also had a lesson on how to hold the knife and fork, although I don’t know if that was a ‘lesson’ or at ‘dinner time’.
Not that we have lessons and breaks, it’s all a bit organic really. It’s more opportunities and Daisy being inquisitive than us teaching her; her actual biggest advance in the last few weeks has been purely self taught colouring in, last week she spent three days colouring in one picture, the type of attention to detail she must have gotten from her mother.
We’re not pushing, Daisy is wanting to learn new things, and why she’s like that we’re not going to stop her -with any luck that will carry on for many a year.
Today we moved to our new office in work – finally we got out of the open plan nightmare where far to many people where trying to work, and the noise was ridiculous.
we now have our own office just for the web team, and gosh it was quite,? I think it’s all a bit of a shock and it’s going to take us a while to get use to it. before we where put in open office hell, we had a quite nice office in the main council building, a wonderful 140 yeah old masterpiece, built when the city had loads of money, and didn’t mind spending it. Since then we’ve scuttled between the non-descript 60′s building that make up the rest of the councils’ office buildings – but at least as of today it’s our own non-descript 60 office.
For this week we are squeezing our dual monitors onto call centre desks, and trying not to knock each others tea over.? until they can get around to putting our rather plush (and much bigger) desks up on Friday. this of course means another desk move. but that’s OK.
This morning I worked out that I am now on my 6th desk since starting here 613 days ago, that’s a little over one desk every 100 days. and I get my 7th next Monday.
As of this moment in time I have 44 requests in facebook, and I don’t really want to look at them.
the truth is that most of the things that fly around facebook I just don’t like; it could be a result of my job. I spend huge chunks of the day trying to ensure that we do quality work, that looks clean professional and is easy to use. and then facebook is full of little tacky applications that look awful and make no real sense when you use them, except thousands of people do.
but then content is king.
Anyway. I don’t feel very social in this world of social networks, people keep asking me stuff, and I just ignore them.
