A day’s hard work (or two)

Okay, so possibly slightly delayed – but I’ve been meaning to post this for some time now. I just wanted to show people how much effort gets put in and how much time gets spent prepping a classroom full of new PCs and Monitors.

These photos were taken from the classroom at Bedford College’s Plumbing Centre – where we had to remove the same amount of old computers (about 5 or so years old) to replace them with brand new base units and flat screen monitors.

Everything has to be taken into consideration, as the mentality (not PC) and the general attitude of the students that would be using them is not the best. So you got to think of how to locate them/tie everything down so it can’t be pinched. (A real shame but this is what the world has come to).

Two of us did this, with some help from Staff to clear the empty boxes and packaging. We then had another room to do upstairs…

5 reasons to take a walk after work!

Now, I don’t know about other people but for me at least I have to commute to work (by car, which takes 30 mins) and then spend most of my day sitting at a PC. That’s part of my job, it can’t be helped.

I find it quite nice when I get back home to take a good walk. Five reasons for this:

  • Gets you stretching your legs, and getting some exercise
  • If you’ve got a dog, gives you a good reason to walk it
  • Lets you wind down and calm down if your day has been stressful
  • If you use a PC at home a lot anyway, gives you a break between sitting at one and moving to another
  • Builds up a good appetite, I try and go before Dinner

So there. That is my five reasons to take a walk when I get home from walk.
