Last week on Thursday I had a big day. I reached my half century, got an iPhone and had a job interview<\/strong>. I was very pleased with the phone, not particularly happy about hitting 50 and unsure about the interview until yesterday. It looks like I am going to be \tan ICT Development officer in North Lanarkshire<\/a>.
I took a wee risk with the interview, I actually got the iPhone before my big day so the night before the interview I knocked together a quick imovie for a few stills as a self advertisement and put it on the iPhone, at the is there anything else you want to tell us<\/em> bit I pulled out the phone and showed the video.<\/p>\n

<\/object>
John @ Sandaig<\/a> from John Johnston<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if it helped or I got the job in spite of the movie, I’ll need to enquire.<\/p>\n

The upshot is it looks as if my life will be changing quite a bit. It has not really sunk in yet, but I know I’ll miss Sandaig, staff and pupils and the school website, they have all been a big part of my life for the last 16 (or is it 17) years.<\/p>\n

A couple of asides, vimeo<\/a> quality seems better than youtube, and how amazing is twitter, when I heard about the job I tweeted and was overwhelmed<\/a> by good wish tweets, thanks folks<\/p>\n

I should probably also move and rename this blog, any ideas for a new name will be gratefully received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
