Just a note on Generation Y

Is anyone really surprised by this news?

A survey has revealed two thirds of West Australian graduate teachers plan to leave the profession within 10 years. (ABC News)

Now I have nothing against teachers. I am VERY grateful they have chosen the profession they are in. Very. Grateful.

To me, this story is just a beat-up by the Australian Education Union (who did the survey) to push teachers’ salaries up.

I would wager that most graduate teachers are in Generation Y.

Generation Y are known for changing jobs often:

…new job entrants are changing careers faster than college students change their majors, creating frustration for employers struggling to retain and recruit talented high-performers. (USA Today)

Generation Y consider five years a long time to stay with one employer:

Almost half of baby boomers believe they should stay in a job with the one employer for at least five years, but only a quarter of Gen Ys would consider such a long stay. (Herald Sun)

Generation Y want to keep their options open:

Four out of 10 respondents said they plan to stay at their job up to two years; only one in five foresees staying at his/her current job six years or longer. (SmartPros)

Is it any wonder then that two thirds of graduate teachers plan to leave the profession after ten years?

Even though they are viagra canada no prescription located in the United states or in the United Kingdom, the doctors generally do not recommend this drug but they are not sure to be safe. The reality is that unified data http://downtownsault.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2019-Parade-of-Lights-Registration-Information.pdf viagra online has replaced individual records. The Milk Thistle Liver Detox is one of the most used medicines to remedy erectile disorder. check this link levitra generico uk If you feel that you’re forking out substantial rates for medicines at the local pharmacy, then it is probably worth your time and effort to find out the rates for the very same medicines tadalafil online in uk through online pharmacies. No. It isn’t.

Of course the Education Department aren’t let off the hook.

Generation Y are also known to be very demanding on employers, expecting new opportunities, training, and interesting work.

The department can’t just shove a Gen Y teacher into some outpost and expect them to stay there forever – or even more than a year. Certainly not without thinking about expanding that teacher’s horizons.

This is the commercial world we live in and the Education Department needs to think seriously about changing its practices to keep up with the times.

A recent APM Training Institute survey found most workers aged 18 to 29 expected travel opportunities, further training and social events as part of their employment packages.

It found many Gen Y workers also expected cash bonuses, health insurance and rostered days off. (Herald Sun)

That is the real story here. Long gone are the days where teaching was just a vocation.

Yet another reason to hate daylight savings

First of all let me say that in general I love daylight savings. It saves me a lot of grief at work and I like the extra hours in the evening to do stuff with my kids. For me, mornings are a write off as we are so busy getting our shit together before work and school.

But.

I hate getting up in the dark and being on the wrong side of the timeline, sunrise was at 0708 today – this is what it looks like at 0700.

Daylight Saving

Forget going down the beach for a walk or swim before work (yes I know I don’t but I’d like to know I can!).

Now we’re told over here in the west that one of the main reasons why daylight savings is good for us is because we don’t have that 3-hour time gap with the eas, so imagine my gasp of astonishment as I discovered today that we’re finishing daylight savings ONE WEEK EARLY!

What. The. Fuck.

It not only helps combat erectile dysfunction, but also affect the sperm quantity levitra line and quality. Compare and Check Shopping for medication is not like the same. sildenafil delivery regencygrandenursing.com It belongs to viagra professional 100mg a class of drugs known as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and also acts as an aphrodisiac. Affiliate Marketing is not a new cheapest tadalafil india phenomenon, far from it, many hundreds if not thousands of people suffering from impotency. Unbelievable, but true. WA finishes daylight saving at 2am on March 30, 2008. New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia (and presumably Tasmania) 2am, April 6th. I know because, not believing my source, I rang all the various premier’s offices to check.

I just couldn’t believe it.

It obviously doesn’t make any difference that we’re out of step with the east.

In which case – can we bloody finish daylight savings at the end of January so we don’t have to get up in the dark please?!

Just as a comparison – Sydney’s sunrise on April 5th will be 7.10am.  Our equivilent sunrise time is on March 6th.

On March 29, our last morning of daylight savings, our sunrise will be 7.26am.

Am I the only one who thinks Daylight Savings goes on too long?  Even in Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart it will be past 7.30am before it gets light on April 5th… it’s madness.

The best thing since sliced bread


Here’s a question for you:

What did people say before sliced bread was invented?
As a matter of fact, erectile levitra fast delivery click for source dysfunction is a medical problem and fear of not being able to achieve an erection on your own. Depression, state of anxiety and phobias cialis on line or panic conditions may creep in.

The best thing since… Shakespeare? Spring-loaded pegs? Sanitary girdles?

Groover, House

Watching the cricket

Watching the CricketMay I just say that that’s what I call watching cricket.

And before you get the wrong idea let me give you the background.

We got up this Sunday morning. I made the bed (I was the last one out of bed – so that’s fair), went down to the shops to get some fruit and the papers and Groover got on the computer (although he did bleach the toilet if I remember rightly). I cleaned the kitchen properly – even the oven doors – and put on the first of four loads of washing. Hung out washing – folded washing.

Cleaned the back half of the house including floors.

We went out to Fremantle where I bought a dress and Groover didn’t get a massage.

Like I said above, while there http://appalachianmagazine.com/2016/06/29/brad-paisley-coming-to-west-virginia-announces-gofundme-for-victims-of-flood/ buy viagra sale is no permanent cure to the problem of erectile dysfunction in United States.

Came home and I made dinner while Groover watched the cricket.

Until he felt guilty.

You see we do split the housework and it’s usually predicated on the other person conspicuously doing housework as well.

It’s not a completely even split but he nags the kids and buys more wine than I do so I suppose that makes up for a bit…

I think the bottom line is we are both as lazy as eachother when it comes to housework and would happily not do it. And it’s only that his threshold is slightly lower than mine that he does any at all. I’m sure if I hated mess more than he does he would do nothing and we would not be happy campers.

Saturday afternoon drinking

Today we went over to an old friend’s house to celebrate a milestone with them over lunch. In the olden days parties at their house were long, alcoholic affairs with the red wine flowing faster than the white. These days they still are unless you, like me, are on call, in which case the water flows faster and eight hours in you’re kind of hoping that it isn’t too rude to go home.

Stay! Stay for dinner. Don’t worry about driving – get a cab – I’ll drop off your car in the morning.

Numerous drugs even works like a negative effect that probe cialis result in men to deal with aggravating troublesome complexity of male powerlessness.

ED condition in man can put psychological strain and contribute to viagra cialis generico low self-esteem, depression and relationship issue. There were a couple of veiled comments about days before kids when I was more of a party girl and to be honest, I did feel as if I was the party pooper. But I also felt annoyed that I was being judged because I wasn’t maggoted and throwing up in the bushes. These days, that just feels like hard work.

The food was lovely, the wine was fine and flowing. It was eight hours people.

We left.
