    Well I think (again) tomorrow I shall go and see my union rep,

    I wish I didn't feel so torn. guilt and angry. so negative! hate feeling like this.

    thanks everyone means the world.

    xx

    Well done Buffy - remember, just making a plan to take on small step is a positive move

    It will get better, even if right now it doesn't seem like it

  • Ok last post for the night, honest!

    will redo seating plans in the morning, have ordered new mem stick for work to be more organised. and another self help CD(!)

    I have a new folder to use too, and will print out new registers tomorrow as well.

    I will get through this. it is just a job it pays the bills.

    Hi Buffy, long time no talk......I think we were sitting on a bench togther last time!
    You ( and Louise ) were a very positive influence for me recently, you were able to cut right through all the cr*p and helped me really think about what was good/bad important/unimportant in my life. If you can do that for me......

    Maybe its time to think about the stuff you LIKE about your current position and use that to get through your remaining time there, so often the bad stuff wins out because it is always at the front of your mind.

    Applying for new jobs is a v good move, but re-read any applications before sending......dont want any unwanted negativity creeping in.

    Talking of creeps, I hope today went well. Any observer worth their salt should be able to recognise a bit of stage-fright !!!!!!!.....and DONT say 'but I shouldn't get it'...

    Taking the snails for a walk?

    PM anytime. pepe x
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

  • oh you lot are going to make me cry.

    It was ok, taught period one - good lesson I guess, free p.2 organised my week and did a tiny bit of marking, union rep wasn't in, but i have his e mail.

    3/4 taught, ok lessons nothing amazing, too much to mark, not sure how I am going to manage this week re marking. nothing new there! done Geo, got to do yr8, yr 11, and then some how nine and seven????????????????

    lunch, had a club so avoided boss(!) and then had two meetings, one very good and one kinda annoying, then CAME HOME!

    well I went shopping needed labels(!) sad but true!

    got lots to do and doubt I can put off speaking to my boss tomorrow. but will write a response to his observation.

    any how have loads to do. might make a list somewhere!!

    thank you so much you lot were my life line yesterday and again today
