Another Day Another Dollar

Hmmmm, unless you work in sales!!!

Boss has been in meetings today so managed a little OU stuff, actually to be fair it was probably more than I thought. Have got work people involved in my questioning of Sharon's Study for ED209 TMA02 and a lot of questions have arisen which are really good especially with regards to ethics and variables. Still struggling with question 9 about conclusions of the correlation but will get boy toy to help tonight once I can get past his glazed expression by giving him beer.

Have actually been discussing attachment theory and disturbed/disturbing behaviour with work people and poor customers who are willing to spend time with me. It really is very insightful. Was trying to get mum to tell me which type of attachment I had but of course she says that I was a secure baby (she was never going to say anything different!!!).

Was the 2nd person out in Poker last night but not sure my head was in the right place. Tried to watch Inception which was wicked till the eyes got heavy and I stopped it at 1 hour 23 mins so back to that tomorrow.

Taking mum to Brighton (100 miles return) tomorrow to save her getting the bus and as I know that I will be bored stuff I decided it would be a fun roadtrip. On with Coding when I return as it's relevent to TMA02 and I have bypassed it so far!!!

Disturbed and Disturbing behaviour

ED209 Book 2: Chapter 2 is truely facinating and I find myself trying to classify myself and my friends in to Type A, B, C and D characteristics to see who is most likely to become a serial killer - Only kidding but still very insightful.

Didn't quite manage to finish Chapter 2 as the eyes started to get heavy but will push on with it tonight.

Plan for this week:

fOCUSII Coding and Reliability - Really need to get this done as I am actually behind and it may be needed for TMA02.
ED209 TMA02 - really need to get a move on with this as only have 5 weeks to go which sounds okay but apparently we are actually expected to get as close to the 2,000 word limit.

Very quiet day at work so got roped in to sewing the guys pockets back together to save them looking scruffy urchins. Have been googling stuff for TMA02 and making notes, it has led me to question a fair few parts of Sharon's Study which I hadn't initially though of.

Poker tonight or not????? Questions, questions!!!

ED209 Progress

I have actually made a start on ED209 TMA01. Piaget is a bit of a dude, his theory pretty much states that children show the same development as molluscs............. how cruel is evolution!!! ED209 TMA01 is proving easier than DD101 TMA06/07. TMA07 is proving to be a bit of a pain to be fair, the actually section on legitamacy within states is tiny therefore I am actually doing to have to draw from the other chapters to make 1500 words........ Doh!!!! Might even give in to researching other sources.

Came 4th in poker tonight which has cheered me up.

Resigning on Friday which is going to be bad, they aren't going to take too well.

Holy cow - ED209 material has arrived!!!!

Just got home from work to discover that my first mailing for ED209 was on my bed. I really was not expecting it to be this soon. I haven't got a study calender or a TMA guide however it doesn't show these on the list so suspect it must be due later!!!.

Today at work I have written a body for TMA03 and TMA04 so just need to decide on what to leave in or take out and how to break it down. Quite enjoyed the reading for TMA04 and think I managed virtually 6 hours straight with only a few interruptions..... it is being done at work I suppose.

TMA03 I have decided I am just going to lay out the paragraphs as in the assignment guide and I have a fair idea how I want to breakdown the sections. For TMA04 I am going to look at Cohen and Huesmann et al. The reason for cohen is that most of the topic seems to focus around him and the reason for Huesmann et al is that at A-Level I studied Bandura and his bobo dolls which interested me and I understood. I clicked on the wrong 'alternative resource' bit earlier and spent 20 mins reading about pirates before realising I had clicked on the reading content for what I suspect is TMA07!!!!! Doh!!!!

Well off to poker now to enjoy what is left of my social life. Just realised how amazing the timing is for all this considering that my busiest months at work are February and March!!!!!

Early TMA01

Just got back from Poker and came 7th out of 35 so pretty proud of that in a way.

Work is getting duller by the moment and although I sold 2 cars today, I really don't have the heart to be there.

Started TMA01 really early, there is however a downside..... it is never done until you submit so keep tinkering with it and it is sending me a little loopy. Firstly my family didn't like a paragraph so ditched the nonsensical part and created another which is too short really. I am now looking at the introduction thinking that the signposting isn't great. I really want TMA01 over and done with. I am starting the prep work for TMA03 (meaning chapters 4,5 & 6) on Sunday (about 8 weeks early) but feel wrong as I only want to run 2 TMAs together and TMA01 is still a lame work of art!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I am getting to the point at which I know vaguely what grade I'll end up with by comparing it to appendix 2 of LC2 but soooooooo want more from a flippin 5% TMA. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Poker

I won Poker tonight in the local pub and that is all I care about for 24 hours!!!! Yey hey!!!
