			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being such a small and cosy school, we don&#8217;t have the luxury of employing an ICT teacher.  We have many ICT-competent folk, and even a teacher with a degree in things computery-wizardry.  As well as having no ICT teacher we&#8217;re also lacking an ICT-Bod who is capable of doing the fixing of all things technical.  Oh, we have a darling admin lady, but despite doing her best to get to the root of the problem, her knowledge is woeful.</p>
<p>Because of this I have unofficially taken on the role of IT Girl, but only amongst the more worthy members of staff.  And those that know of my amazing self-taught computery ability, which in all truthfulness is only a select few. </p>
<p>Your tables are too big?  Your margins aren&#8217;t equal?  You don&#8217;t know how to do <em>what</em>?!  There&#8217;s only one solution to your horrid techy problem &#8230;</p>
<p>The IT Girl!</p>
<p>Not a day goes by where someone doesn&#8217;t toddle by and request my help.  I&#8217;ve even been asked to be solely responsible for the school website (let&#8217;s hear a WooHoo!), and I am looking forward to getting my teeth into that project, once my husband has uploaded the appropriate software to the new laptop that we don&#8217;t yet have.</p>
<p>I feel the need to make myself some clothing to don when help is requsted.  Perhaps a cape in a shocking shade of pink, and matching stripey tights.  I&#8217;m sure there is room to spin round in the cupboard, as long as I promise not to disturb the creepy spiders, with their creepy, straggly webs which drape alluringly over the binding machine. </p>
<p>My only gripe is that I currently have to teach the damn subject &#8230; Pffft.  It&#8217;s a hobby, not a career! </p>
