Only 5 days to go!

[SmartMonkey]

As the title says, we are well into the run up to StratLan 5.
All my computer kit is sorted and ready to go, got my water pistols ready (may have to do something special to these).
AND of course a couple of waterbombs. (Fear the waterbombs, they are not your average run of the mill ballons full of water!)

What he said...

And besides, thanks to SmartMonkey for helping me out on the old monitor front.

Only slight problem is the 5 days of work i have to sit through before the weekend :(

[Afty]

I also agree with Culture. Anyone know of a way to avoid this?

Perhaps someone could come up with a great excuse to miss work for 4 days?

[SmartMonkey]

well depending who you work for, just tell them you resign and you are going to work for a competitor, and voila you get to go home now and they pay you to sit at home until your notice period is up.
always (un)helpfull

oh and Afty what size monitor do you want to buy? 15", 17", or 19"?

You could become a lazy arsed student like me and be on study leave all this week

5 hours of actually being in school

Unfortuanately those 5 hours at 2 2 1/2 hour computing exams

Bah :(

[Afty]

But that would mean actually going to work somewhere else, SM. And there is some fannoir here I'm trying to crack on to currently... :)

As for monitors, I replied to your message earlier today.

'computing' - 'exam' ?

Like, is it the kind of "Click on File - Open." "Now open all word documents in the folder" "Now underline all titles and run the spellchecker"

"Thank you, now put your pencils down".

?

[Big Giant Head]

no that's llama IT

This is computing (wish someone had told me the difference before I took it)

ATM I'm revising project life cycle, although later on I'm onto indirect/direct addressing, processor registries, binary and hex etc etc

Endless endless joy

[Afty]

That stuff is more interesting and more useful than you might imagine while you're doing it, taking the piss out of it.

At least that's how it was for me.

Except the 'project life cycle' bit, which was complete bull****.

As I'm sure Jay will be happy to explain, Project Management is *not* something anyone can begin to learn at a college. It has most of its' basis in Timekeeping, Audit Trails and good Customer Relations. All you need is a good grounding in common sense and some experience. Which is why I'll never be a project manager... :)

Jay...?

[Big Giant Head]

I don't mind most of it really

I reckon you could comfortably get 60% in the exam with a good lashing of common sense

Just driving me up the wall when you're on day no 3 of revision and still feel like you don't know the extra 40% ;)

[SquireMuldoon]

Bah! If I can pass a sodding computing HND by cramming 30 mins before the exam, Im pretty sure you can pass yours.

Go out... enjoy the sunshine... its only gonna disctract your revision anyway :cool:
