Satelite blues?

The clocks have gone back and the days are getting shorter. The thought of travelling across Moscow to a satellite school is becoming less and less appealing. However, as some teachers will testify, working in a satellite can be a pleasant relief from the mayhem of central schools. And remember, it's harder for the timetabling department to find you there!!

To help you while away the time standing on the over-crowded metro at rush hour, here's a short psychometric test which will tell you what your local organiser really thinks of you!!

Grab a pencil and paper to keep track of your answers. The key is on page the last page. And remember, if you have any questions, problems or just fancy a chat, Wayne can still be found on the first floor in the "In-company office' and I'm on the seventh floor - ext. 138.
