Back from Belgium. Back in work and already bored.
I guess if nothing else work gives me a chance to catch up on the missed z's but I really do want more than that from life. I miss the energy of teaching on days like these but then the reality is I really don't want to find myself back in a classroom. Not in this country anyway. Well unless it was a nice independent girls school.
The gf has posed a semi solution. Based on the fact that neither of us has had much luck in the Midlands she thinks we should move.
I am excited yet terrified by this idea. You see the gf and I split up a while ago (over complex issues I am not going to delve into) and my parents don't know we're back together. The reason for this is they seem to hate her and the fact that she makes me happy doesn't count.
So it begs the question that if I did move how would I explain it to my parents. Would they believe it was just down to me needing a change as well as telling them not to stress. It's not as if I haven't talked to them about moving it's just any move I have talked about has been moving back to Wales not in the opposite direction.
I guess it will give me something to think about whilst I am bored in work if nothing else.

Maybe a change of scenery is exactly what you need. I think most of us seek approval from our parents and I'm sure they do or did the same with theirs. If you feel it right to move on and be with your gf then go do it.
I read your entries for your interviews. That's a pretty naff comment about lack of Admin skills. Being a former teacher means that you had to have good Admin skills. I pity the fools who said it. Maybe you could teach English as a foreign language overseas..but then there's the gf and dog to consider! Good luck in your endeavours!
