...but I'm going to tell you anyway!

I am now officially on holiday

The next school day is in September

Roll on the summer!

(not that I am trying to wind you guys up, you understand...)

[BOK]

And this is the man who the other day was griping about people getting time off...

He meant 'other people'

[pumarv6]

Plenty of other teachers still have a few weeks to go.

[happy-kat]

now you are a man with time, you have an out of date signature

[BenF]

I refuse to be wound up - I am on holiday - I can only be wound up during work time

(and one of the people I was referring to having time off for no reason is still off - they have not been at work for the last couple of months)

[BenF]

now you are a man with time, you have an out of date signature

thanks - now I have plenty of time I have gone and changed it

Now he has time, he can go and do some SATS marking, as it seems a few teachers forgot to do their homework...

I think the SATs marking has already finished - I don't do it but I think LisaDJ does

after the staff party tonight (don't expect anything too coherent from me tonight) my next task is to take the gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition to the Outer Hebrides next week - well, someone has to do it

Well done Ben, I think you deserve the break. All the long hours you put in and for a paltry salary.

There should be more people like you.

Now I hear you are giving up some of your small allocation of holiday entitlement to take young people to a far away place and look after them.

You deserve a medal.



Here you go...

I could always find an intenet cafe up there...

assuming that they have electricity!

(don't let Gav read that )

no, photobucket

thanks Pete

I know that I take a lot of stick (and to be honest I invite it to get a reaction), but it is nice to know that behind the joshing some people do appreciate what teachers do (as well as others in the caring professions)
