Sorry Simon but I'm gonna have to call your girlfriend up on that (not literally call, I won't be cutting your lunch, no fear)... Guys are being honest about their intentions by cutting straight to the point - would she rather these guys play her by pretending to be interested in dating and cups of coffee when all they want is TnA?

If he'd done this in the first place and listened to some people here who told him to be direct up front he'd have brought them an employment issue with no idea where he stands with the company. This way he's found out where he stands before he's even had to bring up the issue himself. Win. This has given Simon the strongest hand in the game. Forget emotions, only poor businessmen let their emotions get in the way of what's best for the business. Trust and blah blah - bullshit. Here's why: there is a ceiling on Simon's career at the company as he's a one man operation anyway, so there is no being denied promotions because he's a flight risk and all that crap - right now is when the promotion is being decided or not, so right now is when he needs to use his hand. What matters to successful profit driven businesses these days, in the age of cost cutting and outsourcing, are the numbers and costs - this swings firmly in favour of keeping Simon on board with payrise and trainee, even if the ultimate goal is to replace him (for now, but the longer you work and the more integrated you become the harder it would be to replace with trainee). The workplace gossip route has worked perfectly for him as it gives him 100% plausible deniability if he wanted to stay there and denounce the rumours as...rumours...and there's not a thing they can do about it. What a couple of people here aren't realising is that they don't know what we know. As far as they know, workplace gossip says he's looking for other jobs - not Simon. Hence they asked him what his intentions were. You simply can't sack or replace someone based on workplace gossip or you open yourself to some big legal issues. Once you start putting words to paper it's a different ball game.

Translation: Kate is an alcoholic victim of her step dad's child abuse who stumbles home from seedy bars slurring Def Leopard and Poison songs hoping to be taken advantage of / raped by homeless men just so she can feel sentient touch outside if her many cats. She believes that good things come to those who don't work for them and expects the world on a silver platter, that one day she will be pretty-womaned out of her shithole existence. Good luck, Kate.

Told ya the ball is in your court - these guys need you - the benefits of proprietary coding, a technical knowledge asset and no easy replacement make for an invaluable employee that can within reason bring the company to it's knees. It's pocket aces. However now is the time to be respectful...and to properly ask yourself if you want to stay there and if two changes, 1. A payrise/promotion and 2. An assistant (such as Leigh) would improve your working conditions and satisfaction. If this is the case, as far as wording goes, I would say that you want to stay, but with the increased workload over time (therefore increased stresses) combined with the want to advance in your career path (you are 30 or nearly 30) has led you to review your options, but if they are willing to come to the table to address these two issues then you see no reason you can't remain with the company long term. Something along those lines. Or you can keep playing coy, dismiss it as more workplace gossip. But it really does sound like they need you and are considering an assistant for you anyway - cheaper and easier to do this and a payrise than to get someone else in. You'll need to be clear about your intentions sooner or later as they will start to get annoyed after a while.

Undeniably you'll find good teachers anywhere regardless of their study, as the most important thing above all is going to be their personality and dedication to their job, like any other industry and this can sometimes overcome shortcomings in ability. But second to that is the skillset needed to transfer knowledge, not just knowledge of the subject matter. If subject matter knowledge was all you needed to teach then we'd all be qualified to teach/train in our respective fields one way or another or you could simply read a book and regurgitate it. What the bachelor's sets you up with is a much more in depth skillset for teaching than the diploma or any other process for it.Also teaching is far removed from what it was when we were at school. Whole different ball game with technology, new age shit, seemingly more autistic kids and the inability to properly discipline kids who've never had a smack in their lives from their parents. I remember in high school having some teachers who would literally put up projector slides of notes and make you write them down and that was your lesson lol - no way you could get away with that now.

This is pretty much my view; I'm fairly black and white about suicide.If someone has gone ahead and done it already there's nothing you can to stop it and if not your train then someone else's, or the Bolte bridge. Probably where it affects them though is seeing death take place first hand - can be pretty confronting. I knew a guy who was physically pretty tough - never has anesthesia for stitches etc.; had his wisdom tooth pulled out without any anesthesia. One day he saw a guy walk in front of a train one day and now if he sees images of the human brain exposed it makes him throw up / almost faint. Road trauma dude also told me you never completely get used to mangled bodies, just better at handling it / blocking it out.

If the train driver's starting salary is so high because of suicides I might look into it lol Couldn't give a fk if people kill themselves on my train

Another version of this has always been around. You can do, for example, a psychology degree and if you don't pursue a career in psychology you can do a graduate diploma in teaching (1.5 years or so) and then teach psychology at high school. It was on the cards for me before I went into marketing.
