About Me

Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!

Kevin Rudd declines $1m paycheck - yes but!

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has rejected a call for his salary to be tripled to $1 million.
Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce made the call after the Remuneration Tribunal this week recommended a three per cent pay rise for MPs and senior public servants, a rise the Government has accepted.

Senator Joyce said it was a commercial reality that the highest officeholders should be "within sight" of the sort of money someone in business is paid for running a similar sized company.

One would be curious as to "how rubust" was his No! ;)

And of course, not forgetting that he, and all his fellow parliamentarians DO receive a pay rise! 3 percent of $300,000 is still a nice bonus!

"Men" duped in money-doubling scam - these cannot be real men! Surely!

PROMISES that special chemicals could duplicate money have allegedly duped three Victorian businesses.

Police said the businesses gave about $160,000 in cash to two men in the belief their money would double when soaked in chemicals, the Stonnington Leader reported.

A supermarket receipt, uncovered during investigations, has since revealed the chemical formula as bleach, baby powder and hair spray.

Police said the two men would conduct the "procedure" out of sight each time, transfer the money into their possession, then wrap up worthless pap er in aluminium foil or another non-see-through casing.

Detective Sgt Andrew Healey said the business owners were told to leave the wrapped package for 24 hours while the chemical worked.

All I can say is...you dick heads! Seriously! WTF!

Yes, people really can be dumb sometimes. Next time just send me the cash instead - at least you know it will go to a good home and you won't feel quite so embarrassed!
