well, that's understandable. "rex" means "king", although i don't know what "truman" is offhnd...

Thanks NicolasB

That anagram thingy is very cool. I enter My RL name, (first and last) and it gave me a huge long list.

Some sound like things you'd actually say

I thought this one was funny:
ARM INERT I'M MORT
(hehe it's kind of like a self diagnostic message

- since inert can mean still and mort means dead)

TRUMAN m English
Pronounced: TROO-man
From a surname which meant "trusty man" in Old English.

ah, thanks. so "TRUMAN REX", or "king of trusty men", altho technically it's mixing germanic with latin, but then again, WHO CARES?

not bad at all. maybe i can join the kingdom one day?

Well, the teaching gig is still going on, and I haven't killed anything yet, so I guess I'm doing alright. Passed ok when the uni inspector sat in on my classes. whats tiring is when you go huge distances for excursions with 3 busloads of screamers having had to go huge distances to get to the school allready.

one week left.

then another four week block later this year, then can go and get a teaching job

(in theory)

well done & good luck

you will also be qualified to work as assistant demon in the 3rd circle of hell btw

Hey! Assistant demon? that sounds good! probably easier and less painfull - the demons you worked with probably would have better people skills than most teenagers

Well, I made it

last day at the school was today. They said lots of nice things and I got a great report for the Uni, so I should be ok

I could go longer, but uni classes again from monday so back to the more relaxing uni grind for a while before the next prac posting

I think I can do this

But holy spinnach batman - that was a fast 4 weeks!
