Yes, come work in education, for tuppence a day and a cup of hot gravel (The lure of the public sector, www.computing.co.uk/2210507).

Well, until Building Schools for the Future (BSF) causes you and your job to be outsourced, so that you end up being regraded from network manager to mouse technician.

Or your new school has big lovely IT suites full of fancy wireless and spanking new whiteboards and your server room is downsized to one slightly smaller than the cleaner’s broom cupboard you now have to share with the cleaning supplies.

Watch out Mildred, don’t put that open bottle of bleach on the server. No, it is not a tray for your cup of tea, whoops too late… and too late to halt the tide of BSF.
