Your working day. What's it like?

I wondered if I'd get away with that particular wording.

 

Mine can be anything from a regular 8 hr shift to my current record of a 28 hr shift. It's interesting, stressful and exhausting all at the same time. sometimes I know it'll be a long shift and sometimes I don't so it makes home life (not to mention everything else) a bit challenging!

At the moment I'm on jury service which is a welcome break although my fellow jury members seem to be a bit thick - we've already had a full days deliberation for a cut and dry offence

 

If I tell you I'll have to kill you.

 

its a bit like going away in the camper

 

Start work
Be awesome all day
Finish work

yep, that's pretty much it

 

We couldn't find the new deputy head today, we eventually found her locked in with the chickens! It seems the kids had found the lock that she had left lying on the ground and being the good well behaved little loves they are, they had put it back where it belonged

 

it's rubbish! up at 6:00 in work by 8:00 finish at 6pm and home for about 7:30. I manage paper clips and air conditioning

 

Oh how we laughed! It's called karma

 

Numpty took the lock off, didn't put it back on the hasp and close it shut. She was there 20 minutes in the rain.

 

Her and the new head have systematically rubbed everyone up the wrong way. Latest casualties /new found enemies are the odd job man and best of all the hse inspector

 

The cycle training company I work for had the good sense to stipulate that we don't start 'till 10 AM....avoiding rush hour traffic, the school run and countless parents crammed into tiny foyers, trying to sort out unpaid dinner money, lost jumpers and missing forms, with one seriously over-worked receptionist. 9:30 sign in, staff room, brew and paperwork....collect the little darlings around 9:50 and a brief chat about the schedule for the day ahead. If it's Week 1 of a new course, we'll be training on the playground until dinner time, to make sure the kids' skills and behavior are up to scratch, assuming we're not fixing bicycle shaped objects, that no parent in their right mind would allow a 10 year old to ride around on. After dinner, we take small groups out on to the roads around school, usually 6 kids to 1 instuctor, but it depends on ability and any special needs they may have. Essentially, we're teaching Year 5 and 6 kids how to ride safely, on roads they're likely to use, unaccompanied. It's a great job and highly rewarding, but it's totally full-on, from a risk management perspective...it's a dynamic and potentially lethal environment for a young child who isn't switched on, so the real work involves keeping concentration levels high and monitoring progress. We work to strict standards set by the Dept. of Transport, but it's teaching style and group management, that determine whether the training is successful...
We usually finish around 3 PM, sometimes later, sometimes earlier, depending on the school schedule and how busy it gets around home time...after which, I feel the need to lie down in a darkened room for a while to unwind...

 

you're such a wheeze Malc!

 

I'm often two tyred to do anything else.....



yes I've heard them all....
