Now if I had baby-infested armour at my command, the teachers would do their attendance correctly

Gah. I don't have many bad days at work -- I like my job -- but I definitely had one, today.

One teacher managed to make 65 errors on a single page of a single week's attendance -- which means she entered every bit of information for every student and herself incorrectly for a week, excepting her initials. Actually, I'm a little surprised she got her initials right.

She's very nice, but I think Oliver Sachs could get a book out of her math skills and memory.

In better news, I'm back up to a steady 2000 words a day again, and the novel is coming together better-structured. I'm worried about giving daily progress reports after having disappointed people last time.

Plus, I got to hear jenjoou coin the term "baby-infested armour" last night. Context available upon request.

She's a very sweet British woman who's been known to bake us cookies. So far as I can see, her only personal failings are that she is (in her own words) "bureaucratically-challenged" and has admitted to liking marmite.

That said, her number of errors is astonishing to the point where our head of paedagogy was joking that we should ask her husband (a clinical pyschologist) about it. She now holds the record for number of errors -- all told, errors she made and caused by cascade-effect through her errors today was somewhere around 80.

And I think Indiana Jones would have liked the movie because -- having stolen shamelessly from Raiders of the Lost Ark -- it's ressurrected him for another generation.
