F***ing Lazy!
It has recently occurred to me how lazy people are! Now, I know I'm a complete lazy twat, if not the most laziest twat you could meet, but it really takes the piss when someone suggests to you (almost how to do your job), something that they would like doing.
It comes as no surprise that the request is from the IT (teaching) department, who, apart from some, seem to know absolutely jack shit about what they're teaching! O.k., so there is some arrogance in my tone, mainly taken from the fact that, they know their way and couldn't care less about any other way (which more often than not is a damn site better and more efficient!).
So what is it that has been requested? A coursework submissions system that will allow students to submit their work via email (which everyone knows can be spoofed!) to a "secure area" which is only accessible by the teaching staff. The suggestion has been made "based on an idea produced whilst working at a previous company" that also implemented it in a Lotus Notes environment. It was also said that "given a couple of months, we could create something similar". Now, pardon me for saying but the "WE" doesn't involve anyone who teaches IT, but rather myself and manager.
Something has obviously gone wrong somewhere for this job to have been pointed in my direction as this is technically a job for the "Integrated Learning Technologists", but the buck stops there because we have BlackBoard!
Hands up if you would like to give me a job working for you. I will bring the munkeh if you like, he is however optional.
