Last week
I work in a High school as the tech for the Performing Arts Faculty and last Thursday was a particularly stressful day.

It actually started Wednesday afternoon rigging and plotting lighting for a 10 minute performance on the Thursday morning. This took 3 hours.

Thursday morning started 45 mins earlier than my usual start time so the group of students could have a rehearsal before performing to their peers. After the performance I spent 2 hours resetting stuff for the 6th form open evening that was due to start at 6pm.

Due to my abilities with audio and all things sound, I often help out Modern Foreign languages and today was the day they had asked me to drive the minibus for an afternoon at Everton FC's training ground (long story - French 1st teamer answering questions from GCSE french students).

During a brief tour of the facility after the interviews, the head of music rang me with a story of an ex student who needed some music editing for a college audition.

She was flying out to Juiliard the very next morning.

SO...

Arriving back at school at 4.30, running the 6th form open evening until 8.30, I spent a further hour at school sorting out the student's music before dropping round her house on my way home.

This was my good deed for the day.

doing your job isnt really considered a good deed?

EX Student
i.e. essentially no longer our responsibility and way after hours. Could have easily just gone home and thought nothing more of it. Not going to argue about it. Made me feel good anyway.

Your job

To be perfectly honest
after doing essentially the same thing school year after school year (teachers work from the same lesson plans) it gets a bit tedious. I'm looking for a change so if you (or anyone reading this) knows of anything in my line in the North West of England, drop me a line.

Thanks
