And so another hour of my life is sucked away...

.....by an utterly pointless 'team briefing', in this case the Learning Resource Centre's 'Learning Services Roadshow'. Apart from sounding like it's going to be presented by ageing DJs in fake satin bomber jackets, it covered an area of learning that has nothing whatsoever to do with my particular skill. It looked at assessing key skills requirements for the munchkins who get shunted onto the college after having failed their GCSEs. It was also shoddily presented, something that really gets up my nose as a lecturer. The powerpoint was just a repetition of what the presenter said; It failed to engage interest; It had a specific aim, was was largely aimed at the wrong target audience; In short, why the fuck was I there? And I have another one to endure this afternoon, the 'Campus Briefing and Update', which which take the best part of two hours to deliver, by none less than the director of the college, Lee. He resembles a dealer in quality used cars.
