Is everyone looking forward to Christmas? I am and its a double celebration for me as it is my birthday!

Still one crazy week of work to go and I don't have all the presents yet... so I am actually stuck and chaos... need to get work behind me so that I can actually look forward to it ;)

And Christmas and birthday on the same day? How is that for you?

The positives are I am unlikely to ever have to work on my birthday and I have all my family to celebrate it with. It would be nice to have my own special day though.

What do you do for a living Kia?

That is really cool to have everyone there though. :nod:

thats cool having your birthday on christmas.

I hope that it'll snow here but i'm not to optimistic.

Where are you based, Alex?

Hi everyone! :wave:

Last day to go shopping today. I'm always a late shopper when it comes to Christmas. :lol:

I still can't believe this year is almost over :thud:

Me either... still haven't got any presents :rolleyes:
Work is crazy busy! Can't wait for it to be Friday!
Kier, I'm a teacher :)

And the snow prognosis is around 1% here... not too optimistic ;)

I would've never guessed you were a teacher Kia :) That's pretty cool. :D

This year went by so fast. :nod:

Work is usually busy around the holidays. And it's traffic everywhere. :rant:

I'm a teacher as well!

Kier, Im in Ireland, it has been raining all day today and forecast to rain the next few days

Ireland is a lovely country, have visited Dublin in the past and it was fantastic. Lovely, friendly people and far friendlier than England!

OMG Traffic, and crazy drivers! :evil: My family tonight, we went out to dinner together and we almost got in a car accident in the parking lot! :crazy: some person sped behind us to get the parking lot next to us while we were backing up, there was no one around to even call dibs so seriously, didn't have to do that! :pout:

Why not? :lol:
I love to be right. That should have been a give-away ;) :P

Kier :high_five: Do you like it?

Mel, it's insane... I almost crashed on my way to work yesterday because someone didn't want to wait for me to pass (the obstacle was on their side, so they were driving directly towards me).

Yes I do but I am looking for a permanent job and just doing supply teaching at the moment.

Ah alright :) So are aou looking for something completely different or for a permanent job in teaching?

Either to be honest! I have had some interviews which I have not been successful in!

That sucks! I hope you'll find the right job for you in the new year then :hug:

Exactly :shrug: It just doesn't make sense. It's sad everyone's always in a rush during these months. :blank:

What country do you teach in?

I live and teach in Germany but I also spent a year at a British school a few years back. :)

ETA Merry Christmas by the way :D

I had a fabulous few days in Berlin in 2011! Great city.

Happy Christmas everyone!

I've always wanted to go to Germany. :nod:
