In work-related stuff, I am giving in my notice tomorrow. Technically I only have to give a week, but because I am not that much of an arsehole, I am giving them notice that I will be leaving in mid-September when the course I am teaching on finishes. So that's about 8 weeks' notice so they can try and get their disorganised selves in order and hire a replacement if they want.
My current employers are shockingly disorganised, to say the least. I mean, what kind of training company runs out of paper for the photocopier, not once but twice in 2 months? We've already all been called in to be informed that the manager is leaving, with no job to go to, which we think is financially-driven. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the company goes belly-up in the near future, so I feel like it's a good thing I won't (hopefully, though there's still time, I guess!) be around to see it!
Yep, I got the job I was interviewing for, with the folks with whom I used to volunteer, so it's all good. They have already started emailing me with offers of training though I haven't even signed a contract yet.
In other news, I am also going to be starting a college course in September, which is specifically designed for folks teaching ESOL. It's 4 hours a week minimum, so some more flexibility about working hours is going to be a good thing all round.
And last, but by no means least, it's almost WorldCon! \o/ Got a little space round the con itself to try and get some touristy stuff done too - the new galleries are going to be open in the Imperial War Museum and I've never been to either Greenwich or the Museum of London, so I have a few ideas on how to fill my time, not to mention a couple of restaurants I want to check out. Any London peeps/fellow Worldcon visitors want to play tourist too sometime, or just meet for dinner?
