Huzzah!!!!

Last lesson of the term is now over, and the kids have gone to church for the Xmas service. In about an hour we have drinks in the staff room, and the usual "we're saying goodbye to x,y, and z who are retiring / moving to another school / getting a life" then I'm out of here until January. YAY!

Huzzay, and thrice huzzah!

I'm actually losing a couple of days pay because for reasons known only to the school's admin staff they don't want us to take paid leave tomorrow or Friday, so I'm just taking it without pay and leaving it to them to sort out the paperwork. The term has actually ended on a very sour note for that and other reasons, but hey, the more stress they give me, the closer I am to stress-related illness and early retirement.

So the kids have finished but the admin want you to go in tomorrow and friday anyway? So that you can.... sit and stare out the window?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Sounds to me a bit like admin have to be there anyway so they want everybody else to be stuck there suffering too.

Exactly right, as far as I can make out.

Are any of your colleagues going to be going in tomorrow? :)

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

One is, one isn't. No idea about the rest of the support staff.

Well I've been sitting and staring at my computer the last two weeks since classes ended at my college. I've found it very peaceful, although I am looking forward to a long break starting tomorrow. I have to come back on 29th. No alcohol for us at our Christmas party. That's probably a big reason I skipped it :)
