You may have picked up that there\u2019s a fair bit going on in my life right now. I mean, I\u2019m an newlywed for one thing, Amras and I are currently apart for another, which is bound to lead to its own set of rollercoaster tracks. And then there\u2019s immigration, and what feels like about a million other juggling balls in the air.<\/p>\n
One of which is work. For the last little while, we\u2019ve known that we were receiving new cirriculum, that the company I work for is\/was planning on doing an overhaul of our format which will give us all new classes and a whole new way of teaching those new classes. And in preparation for that, we have all been issued two dozen new classroom computers which need to be prepped, imaged and configured before they can be used. Each machine takes about an hour and a half to run through the configuration process. So, the first three weeks I was here were mostly spent adjusting to being<\/em> here (I literally don\u2019t even count the first week as it\u2019s completely taken up with meetings and onboard safety trainings and such), and since then I\u2019ve been trying to focus on getting those machines done for next cruise.<\/p>\n As well as dealing with, well you know other off-page stuff.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re learning a really complicated juggling routine you have to pick which of the multicoloured balls to focus your attention on right?<\/p>\n Well\u2026it seems I may have\u2026to some small extent… Picked the wrong priority.<\/p>\n The material for the new format has been sitting in my inbox since last month, I looked it over when it came, but left it until we had more stable internet to actually download and then\u2026.? Then it got lost in the juggling pattern. Or more accurately it got suspended up there in mid-air while the rest of the brightly coloured spheres spun.<\/p>\n In other words: I kind of forgot about it.<\/p>\n Until this afternoon when we got the email from Head Office that the new format is rolling as early as this weekend<\/em>\u2026and here I am, not familiar with any of the cirriculum.<\/p>\n Gulp<\/em>.<\/p>\n Well, I used to be very good at cramming (I was always guilty of doing my papers at the last minute in high school and through a large part of university) and I can usually memorize a script in under an hour.<\/p>\n So I can do this\u2026I\u2019m sure I can do this\u2026<\/p>\n Just\u2026one second okay? I think a juggling ball just landed on my head!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You may have picked up that there\u2019s a fair bit going on in my life right now.
