I’ve had enough. I don’t want to code any more. I’ve gotten to the point where I know that I can do almost anything, but I just can’t be bothered. I want to work on my books. I want to spend my evenings reading. I want to get out and be in Bhutan more. I’ve therefore decided to move all my web site onto standard software. This new blog template is the first step. It took a little work to get the title picture set up, but that wasn’t so boring as coding has become.
I’m also delighted that RIM isn’t expecting me to teach this year. Working with the students was fun on occasion, but since they have no real interest in the subject and I’m not empowered to change things, I lost interest a long time ago. I thought they liked me, at least, but last week I saw a few of the girls on the street and as soon as they saw me, they turned and walked away. If a returning student is a teacher’s biggest pleasure, hostile students has to be the biggest depressant. There is a chance that they’ll organise a special week-long course some time this year, and could ask for my help, but that would be much more interesting for me. And I’ll keep working on the inventory system, but in my own time.
