    It is about him~ a nasty bully by all accounts.
    Why do you get observed anyway?Does this happen regularary?

    we get observed once every half term by someone, once a year by him and that is the one that is a BIG deal. one of my friends got up at four in the morning to make sure she was well prepared for the obs.

    I am feeling rough today. headache won't shift. tooth hurts or my accurately stitches hurt now that they are out(!)

    I did go and see Slumdog Millionaire which was excellent. but was so tired that I was ill when i came home.

    I am changing my routine for work, get in early and be really prepared for the day, without my boss or anyof my other bosses getting my way!

    I am not sure I can leave my job. my sister isn't doing so well with money. and there is stuff that needs doing around the house.

    I have to focus on the positives which really do out weigh the negatives, one man versus many friends and pupils who don't think I am crap

    I do hate him tho and I dislike feeling like that.


    Also since although this is a challenge it is also a diary I guess it be moved

  • Morning all -

    I took one of those pills the Doctor gave me - I think they are sleeping pills? any how had a fab night's sleep.

    Still got a headache and tooth thing hurts, but I did get up early and am in the middle of sorting out the fish tanks.

    need to clean room and hamster then get sorted for school next week.

    I am going to apply for the two jobs I saw and look at the TES webiste.

    I would love to go back on supply but with government changes there won't be much call for it.

    I am also going to take the pressure off myself re diet and boy friend,

    no Bf's till summer and no more point counting and dieting. Instead I will follow the 12 week running plan and look forward to Leeds.

    I really cannot leave my job till I have paid off my CC, so my plans.

    A - find a new job to start in September.that is what I am doing right now.

    B - if it gets too bad quit at Easter, new job or no new job. work on Supply

    C - if I can manage stay untill I am debt free.

    Off to e mail CV and generally speak to friends I have been ignoring

    Hi Buffy

    You sound better now you've got a plan - fingers crossed for you :A

    I always think things don't seem as bad after a good night's sleep, and when the sun is shining - which it is here :j

  • Hi Buffy :wave:

    Just read through the thread and it sounds that w**k is really getting to you right now. I like the ABC plan because like the others have said its no point being debt free quicker if you are made ill doing it.

    Just recentely I was struggling, kept going thinking it would get better. Then one day I just walked out it was too much. Went to the Docs thinking I just needed a couple of weeks off which turned into 5 :eek:. I am now doing part time for a few weeks and I feel so much better. I can smile, joke not yell at the kids for just walking in the room at the wrong time etc.

    If things continue as they are I would either envoke plan B or at least get signed off for a while to allow you to breathe.

    Just to add well done on the debt busting you are doing really well with the overpayments so it not all bad news.

  • You see I am ok with the big ideas its the small details that get me.

    like now I am terrified to go to work tomorrow.

    really terrified.

    I ve no idea what to do. my boss will what to speak to me about the observation, I was going to write him a letter detailing how i think the head is wrong but I am too nervous now. But equally I don't want a meeting. it makes me so angry but I can't be angry at work it is unprofessionial.

    I wish I didn't have to go.

    I'm sorry love, but NOBODY should feel like that about going to work.

    Hi Buffy

    Poor you, not really sure I can offer any advice, it's an awful situation you are in. Could you maybe have a sympathetic colleague with you/speak for you? Just for some moral support

    Like others have said, don't let the situation make you ill. A few years ago I had to admit defeat with a work situation and go to the doctors and was signed off for a month. At the time I thought I was giving in to pressure but the time off gave me time to get some perspective. I resigned eventually, and it was definately the best outcome - but I can only see that looking back
