Forgot to tell everyone: got an assignment for 6 days of work in the next two weeks. It’s in a town called Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, and it’s very near Blackpool. Three 2-day courses, introducing software testing to developers for a company up there. It’s the same course I taught a few weeks ago, but abridged to delete the quizzes, exercises, and exam, plus a couple of other extraneous items. I’ve never been to Blackpool before, so I’m looking forward to that.
If I could get six days’ assignment a month, we’d be doing OK on the money front, and I’d still have lots of time to spare to do all the things I should be doing but aren’t at the moment.
Have you tried working through “The Learning Tree“? They seem to offer loads of executive courses, so there must be opportunities there.
Well, I’ll take a look, but I’ve specialised in the software and general quality sector and have a couple of other irons in the fire that I’ve not mentioned yet. So it’s possible I might get those 6 days a month yet!
Ooh, Lytham! Jonesy & I have been there a couple of times, catching the sea air & nosing around antique fairs.
Oh, you near there? Doing anything Tuesday through Thursday nights?
Um, no. I’ll probably be straying no further than Manchester this week. Oh well.
