Summer Rain....

The summer rain drops from the heavens to earth, when will it end, I wish the summer sun would show its face....

In the meantime, I'm at work, busy with moving offices and creating logos for the new website for my department. We are also moving offices, this with the website changes is making the whole department feel very stressed!! :( !

Lots of projects and deadlines. My company, (which is a joint venture with my University friends, isn't going well, I shall have to see if I still want to do this company thing, as it is stressful after a hard day's work in the Office!)

So things are moving along at work. At home, I'm doing some DIY - painting my hallway...

...and still the rains beats down on this island of ours...washing away memories of the summer sun!

Training Week and WebCT Meeting

Over the past few weeks., it's been busy....

(Thursday 22 July 2004) Firstly, I attended a meeting about the E-Learning Tool, WebCT, which was actually very interesting, as I got to hear from the lecturers and support staff how they use WebCT and the changes they propose and the projects underway to improve E-Learning at Brunel University. I wore a tie, but most lecturers came in summer clothes. Oh well, at least I didn't look like a tramp! LOL!

(Monday 26th - Friday 30th) - WebCT Training. First time I'd done anything like this. I presented to 9 lecturers on the Monday and two on the the Wednesday. Skills demonstrated : Oral Presentational, Communication. I do need to speak a little louder, hopefully this will come with time. These training sessions will be an ongoing affair, next one (similar type, but to students) will be in Early Sept in Twickenham.

I also went to another Wedding, near Elstree Studios (close to Pinewood Studios and the Top of the Pops Studios), which was a very "Indian Wedding" in very "English surroundings". Strange, huh?

Currently, at work I'm working on a site Called Career Mangagement Skills (CMS) for my University and doing a Web base for Systems Engineering. I also am designing a document for all departments regarding E-Learning. A mixture of activites and the usual WebCT day-to-day activities also, make for a very interesting life at present.

Only regret is the lack of one's own spare time, hence why I'm turning down other work and the like from friends etc.

It was a nightmare getting home this evening, torrential rain in the London region brought the Tubes to a standstill at Wembley Park, with all major roads flooded! Monsoon comes to Britain is all I can say! At least it will feel cooler in the next few days. It's very close of late.
