Just three more days of leisure left

I sent an email on Tuesday to both departments. I'm not an “I'm all right Jack” type and wanted to cover my backside in the process.

And here we are on Thursday after Lynne said on Tuesday to give her a few minutes while she got my timetable.

I would bet a month's salary that I have been completely forgotten about and now admin is frantically shuffling teachers, times and classrooms. Well, my conscience is clear – if I had kept quiet I could maybe have been on holiday until summer!

As always I have left plenty to do before starting again, although it would seem not as much as the school. Watch this space......

Oh yes! You know I've been walking the long way to the jing jo shop for weeks because the barrier was across and locked? Well on Tuesday it so happened that a guard was opening the barrier to let a hotel guest park their car so I took advantage of the shortcut while it was open. Signing that I would be back within five minutes I asked him to keep it open for me.

To my dismay, on my return the barrier was closed again and I had a particularly heavy load of booze. “Oh what??” I asked the guard and he laughed at me. He mimicked pulling the barrier. Slightly confused, I walked to it but the “bike chain” style thing was back in place. The guard indicated I should pull, so I did. The crafty sods are now just draping the chain and not locking it! So now I can use it as long as I replace the illusion.

Latest peeve? I am an avid fan of Masterchef in all its forms but the female (am I allowed to say that in the age of “wokery”??) narrator grates on me when she refers to the quarter-final as “korter-final”!!!!

Still nothing on the timetable front. Do I just keep schtum now and let people get into trouble?
