And there is deprivation, while the Moravians holidaying in Dubai might be able to overlook it.<br /><br />The desperado who told me about the "house party" - where, allegedly an over-18 yr old was in attendance, to my relief- came up at the end of the day to get a practice paper for the Prelim. A mature and wise decision or a piece of theatre for me and senior management? I habitually see both possibilities.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-12364199764429888872013-01-12T09:29:22.875+00:002013-01-12T09:29:22.875+00:00Seems to me, Dougie, that you're ideally suite...Seems to me, Dougie, that you're ideally suited to observe both the best and the worst of human nature in your job. Is that a plus or a minus, and does the satisfaction outweigh the despair?

Case in point: one of my boys, who's nearly 17, asked me yesterday what sentence you might get for having a party in a stranger's house and breaking some windows. If one of your mates had a key- surely it would just be community service?<br /><br />Naturally,my spider-sense told me this had obviously already happened. My second thought was he might be at the wind-up but we'll see what happens on Monday...<br /><br />There is nothing like working in a school to make you realise your mindset is truly middle-aged. You see them come in as shrimpy wee things, burbling about their dog or seeing ghosts. Seemingly only days later, they leave as shambling, hairy hulks, hell-bent on vodka and weed.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-29041372565024338042013-01-11T22:01:18.636+00:002013-01-11T22:01:18.636+00:00I'd love the energy and optimism of youth, and...I'd love the energy and optimism of youth, and the wisdom of maturity - to me, that's the perfect package.
