I start my new job today. After 24 years at my previous school I'm moving to a 6th form college in Salford to teach A Level history and politics. It's been a long time coming and there were times when I thought it would never happen, that I was too long in the tooth and too expensive compared to younger and cheaper colleagues. At the end of May though the stars aligned and I was offered this new job. It's a bit daunting, starting somewhere new after so long, meeting new colleagues in a new place but I'm looking forward to it. Change is good. It's also much closer to home and every minute I'm not now spending in traffic on the M60 is a minute gained.
Back in 1978 Talking Heads agreed, Bob and Judy enlisting all their family and friends to make it work. 'If your work isn't what you love', David Byrne sings, 'then something isn't right'. Idealistic maybe- many people have to do jobs they don't love. But we should all in an ideal world enjoy what we do.
