being ill and powerpoint (argh!)

so being ill really isn’t funny, I have a fever and in this heat oh my god… and lads no comments about where I got it from, ok!

I’m not well enough to drive today so I have handed the reins over to Samora… evidently it has been a while (2 years) since he’s used a manual and whilst the gear changes are slow and clunky I’m more worried about where the car goes when he looks at the gear stick!!! getting on to the track also show how adept I have become on this track, Samora has never driven down it in 2 years, not sure how he has managed that one, Samora!!??

todays attempt at work was to run the workshop delayed from start of project, i had hope to do this at the beginning as a way of introducing myself and having the guys work with me more, sadly that did not happen but at least we are trying to do it.

to powerpoint or not to powerpoint? I said trying to do it as my methods of workshop discussion group and practical work was abruptly stopped as I was not presenting slides to them in powerpoint. I tried to make them see that we didn’t need this but no one was getting it, I should have considered this before hand from the work I had seen the guys doing already. the way we work in brainstorms at work and the way the guys do things here are a ways apart, living and learning.

I now have to write a powerpoint show for them which to be honest will be very basic and I will attempt to move them slowly to my way of thinking tomorrow, I will try at the very least, a wasted day entirely but hey ho it has given me a target to change, viva the educational revolution
