Lab position

HI All, If you know anyone that maybe looking for a job in School labs in the ACT area please pass on my details. Having trouble finding people to apply, thou I think if the school put it in the local paper might get a interest. It's 4 days a week and really you can pick the day off. Cheers Mardi 02...

Re: Stationary

I have in each Lab sticky tape, glue sticks, scissors, 10 rulers and a stapler so that they don't bug me all the time and at the start of the year I put pens and white board makers in their staff room. this has made my life so much easier :D
