No more IT teaching
Last night was the last time I will ever teach IT. I allowed myself to get talked into doing a one off Excel course - which was for a mixture of basic and advanced users. The basic users all gave me very high gradings - the advanced all moaned.
It took me over a day to prepare for the course - as - with a one off course you have to prepare handouts and most of mine were out of date. So in reality i would have been better off working for McDonalds - except for the smell.
I had the usual problems of hassle with photocopier - it didn't like where I put the paper - and - although it would collate - it didn't like my materials - so it jammed half way through the process - slowing me down further - forget about the lecturer in front who took 10 minutes - to photocopy about 10 pages - also forget about the traffic jam - which meant I did not have time to set up my demonstration files seperately.
After 20 years I'm out of it - out of IT - hooray.
