Dudes can multitask. I can have a poo at the same time as reading the paper, I don't always mean too though

After my previously gloomy effort I decided I’d open with something a bit jovial. I got as far as the title before realising I’m a miserable so and so. Ah well! I am trying to disprove the theory that men can't multitask by moderating folders, listening to my audiobook (therefore doing coursework.) and playing football manager all in tandem. I am really putting in a shift at the moment and I love it. I don't have time to feel bad about anything. I'm finally in work mode and that is a real positive. I am just gonna go flat out for the next few months and then crash at the end: either a massive winner or a huge failure. Here's hoping for the former.



On the subject of failure my team epically failed last night getting a whupping 5-1 from the tractor boys. Much to the delight of Jon "silent bob" Waterworth. Well he may be smug now, but I really hope that Liverpool don't come a cropper in the league cup (you know the one that Liverpool take seriously, but all the big teams play their reserves?) if they do I will be there and everywhere you turn big man, everywhere you turn, will be a poster of the score. You best keep a hold of that interactive whiteboard JW, ‘cos there will be a massive score line written on it. You just watch... By the way, what was the score last time West Ham played Liverpool? :) Now bugger off, if you send me another smug email I am reporting you for cyber bullying you dipshit (so underused!)



But now on to the subject of winning. For those of you who follow wrestling and more specifically the WWE, this past weekend was the royal rumble and the event was whelming (neither under, or overwhelming) but the rumble match itself and for those of you who don't follow wrestling it is a match where wrestlers enter the ring every couple of minutes and are eliminated by being chucked over the top rope. Well this year’s effort was just a bit special. My favourite wrestler of all time, the hard-core legend Mick Foley, was in the rumble. Chris Jericho returned, Road Dogg returned. Hell even hacksaw Jim Duggan made a brief appearance. The final two were Chris Jericho who had recently re-debuted to massive hype, facing off against Seamus on the crest of a wave of momentum. It genuinely could have gone either way, I was a tad disappointed Jericho lost, but am kind of pleased to see a British wrestler earning a place in the main event at the world’s greatest wrestling show...wrestlemania.



By the way, I have been looking at a potential new vocation recently. I really enjoy teaching, but education is so turbulent and the conservative/(liberal?) coalition are making my job less and less enjoyable be the minute. I understand and agree that the situation regarding vocational qualifications had become ridiculous, but it is frustrating when a school uses a really good qualification, in the proper manner to see that qualification devalued in terms of credit towards league tables and even though it maintains its level 2 status, that won't do anything to maintain its overall reputation. I blame schools that played the system. Well those schools will reap what they sew as their scores will nosedive come 2014. In the meantime good schools that have been doing the right things for their students are being made to suffer. It makes me angry.



Anyway, that is the rant over. Anyone got any suggestions for a new career? I want to do something creative and that takes advantage of my soon to be had degree. (Literature – no, really!) I wouldn't mind something that requires me to write. I love writing for an audience, but at the same time I do need to make a decent wage. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I can’t become a gigolo (or a bro-hoe if you prefer) because I have a tiny Penis and am not very good at using it. It is the same problem that kept me out of the porn industry. Finding that out ruined my 14th birthday.
