The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

[Wolvensam]

I skip out of work when I finish at 3.45!

 

[Paul]

I finish early on a Monday & Tuesday and late(!) on a Friday to suit the nursery hours.

You're a teacher at a nursery ??

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

Made a client cry with happiness with the photographs I took of her aging horse. That made me very happy

Shall be handing over the prints today, so I'm hoping I'll still be happy in a few hours

 

[machin05]

3.45 is 'late'?!

Yeah. Everyone else finishes at 3.

 

[lemonjelly]

Yep, 20th Dec to 6th Jan. Standard holiday for me

Ditto!

Well it's quite a lot for someone with a full time job, William.

#cheapdig

Oi!

I have to use 7 some of my 34 annual leave days though....

Ditto. Can't wait til next year when the 34 becomes 37!

No - he's a teacher and the days he actually works only last from 9 til around 2.30. FACKT.

Give us credit. Machin & me have proper jobs! (apols in advance to PLF!)

Mr Penguin coming home and saying that we dont have to go to this one upcoming party. A party where you have to sit with a fake smile alnight, pretending you are enjoying it,when infact you can count the people on one hand that you actually have something in common with. Happy that I have been let off this year

Oh, and we have been forecast 7" of snow

No need to apologise - depends how you define a 'proper job'. Anyway I've been at work for far to many years to care what anyone else thinks about what I do.

All I know is that the Head insisted on driving me to & from work for 3 weeks after the operation as she knew the facilities would start breaking down on her if I wasn't there!

:tiphat:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Off to see wombat del combate get hitched today. Let the heavy drinking commence.

Next week mum comes to Nottingham for a job interview - if all goes well this'll be brilliant for her!

And I get to go home for the Christmas break two days early which I think really is needed right about now!

 

[Paul]

This could be the last Saturday I have to work this year !!!
When I say work, I mean sit at my desk and make sure nobody kills themselves or sets fire to anything.

Brilliant for her but what about you?

 

[PPB]

When its a relief to get home cos you've been wearing your pants back to front .

 

[Hamlet]

Brilliant for her but what about you?

I...can't exactly say it's been easy which is why I'm glad to be back soon - get back, enjoy Christmas, enjoy the inevitable Wolves wins, sort myself out and go back refreshed! Still plenty of chance to make a few good friends and there's someone I know who goes to Bristol uni who I plan to spend a week with for the 2014 World Cup which is gonna be brilliant! Never met him face-to-face before so I suppose it's risky but really I can't see much going wrong!

My place finishes at 12.30 on a Friday

Then you're evidently one of the good ones.
Strange thing with teachers, they're either awesome, reliable & inspiring, or tepid.
The ones I work with are clearly split into 2 groups. There are the brilliant reliable ones, and there's the complete fuckwits who I struggle to understand how they manage to dress themselves in the morning.
(You'd fall into the first group PLF!)

 

[UKYankieWWFC]

Christmas carols on the TV Radio, a glass of Italian Wine (Bocelli) and putting up the Christmas tree!

Nope nothing can go wrong :

Next year I'm planning on starting a National Hamlet Day , there'll be carnivals, floats and fundraising opportunities and we all send you our love, you'll be OK

 

[Hamlet]

:icon_lol: Don't worry, I think that guy goes to Newcastle uni...

Thanks though Paul, it's appreciated

Tata the size of my head out my missus grandfather's garden. They are the best. As jackets they taste so much better than supermarket tatas. The only person I know to still have an allotment also. Old times live on!

But then again that's probably because I don't teach, merely look after everything else without which the teachers would turn up to a building that was falling apart, with no resources & probably wouldn't get paid either. Teachers can be easily covered if they are off sick - there are few options to cover what I do if I am not there, which is why the Head drove me to & from work when I couldn't.

Having worked in schools for 15 years do, however, recognise the groups you describe - there have been some right weirdo's I have seen who take ages to remove whilst keeping to employment law.
