Well you still have a year to redeem yourself if all else fails (I think).

No such luck here.

[Graknorke]

Why'd you remind me of results day? 

Want to get together to throw snails at Micahel Gove's house?

[TD1]

No.

I will throw snails at Cameron's house for firing (Well, demotion. Same difference.) Gove.

[SOLDIER First]

The phone at my house just rang. Not actual ringing, though. It just played the dial tone. The answering machine said "No one is available, blah blah call again" and the tone stopped.
This isn't the first time this has happened.

And here was I thinking it was the first decent thing Cameron has done.

But anyway, yayresults :/

Eh, Gove wasn't good at methods. Improving education was going along the right lines, but he went about it the wrong way, and turned the teachers against him. What I'm now afraid of is the next time someone speaks of improving education in even a vaguely similar manner, then they'll be accused of going down the path of Gove and be instantly vetoed. Still, I'm not for Gove himself.

Eh, tbh education needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground. Especially everything before A-levels. Cause the fact many courses contain entire swathes of entirely irrelevant and useless material doesn't help. Nor does the fact they don't actually test your knowledge much, just exam technique. I mean, my physics papers this year were wordy. Just..... ewww.

[TD1]

Agreed.

So much this.
I don't even understand why it's that way. How did that come about?

If it's anything like America, it's because it's easier to grade and easier to train people on so you can get demonstrable "results" from whatever metrics people use.

Seems like no-one at work can count. Apparently 482 + 128 = 500. And 359 + 1 = 400.

A lot of boxes got messed up because no-one caught on to the fact that they were being labelled wrong. So many boxes missed entirely because of skipped numbers. We barely got them re-sorted before they had to be sent out.

Then I had to stay late to help take sheets off of a press. Apparently the operator needed help because he couldn't keep up with the press' amazing speed of about one sheet every three seconds. Took over an hour just to complete a small pile that would have taken minutes on the other press. Though with all the glue gumming it up, the sheets refused to stack properly. Instead they just stuck together.

I wasn't given a choice, I was just told that I was staying to help. But I was asked to clock out before I went to help. I didn't clock out. Instead I waited for the clock to roll over after I was finished so that I could get extra time.

[Orange Wizard]

Your work sounds incredibly shitty.

[Yoink]

...Wait, BlackFlyme's a sewer worker? I thought he made temporary tattoos?
