I enjoyed it, single source of light in each scene makes for quite a dark movie, some of it is genuinely creepy.

Being included as decent EduTwitter, I like...
I'm hoping people have kept their handles from Twitter, but I do need to get my head around the differences between here and there.

Fluid is a difficult one, I usually make sure that I am well hydrated by drinking enough in the days before the race, and then only taking on small amounts as needed from the water stops. Depending on heat on the day. You could use a camelpack or something similar with electrolytes in it.

Carb load for a few days by replacing some protein in the meals rather than eating more calories. Don't just binge on pasta the night before. Stick to the gels you normally use when training, you also want to have them before you feel like you need them. I usually hit them at 5k, 10k & 15k.

In primary, especially in small schools, I think there are challenges around pay/responsibilities from both leadership and staff expectations.
UPS does suggest that they have the experience/abilities for leadership roles.
TLRs also enter this equation. What is affordable/justified for the role

I think that should be built in to the induction and offer for all staff.

I have noticed as I have started coaching is that there must be an element of assertiveness in leadership, setting of mutual expectations and a follow up if something doesn't happen (for whatever reason).
Worth thinking about what your boundaries are and what you are prepared to tolerate in others.

Coming to this a little late. I think that an element that can be missing in some leadership styles is being human. If we focus on process, policy and procedure we can forget the people at the heart of the organisation.
That said, it doesn't mean letting people take advantage of you.

Have you got Splinter of the Mind's Eye - Alan Dean Foster? If the original film hadn't been a success, this was going to be the low-budget sequel.
