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me over a day to prepare for the course – as – with a one off course you have to prepare handouts and most of mine were out of date.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.
