Hoping to cheer myself up as had a crap week!

So I'll start...

This week so far I got called a fing c**t, had a chair thrown at me, had a book thrown at me and been spat at.

Any guesses what I do for a living?

You’re a teacher. No doubt!

DifficultBloodyWoman · 17/01/2024 20:37

The same thing I used to do!

The parents are worse than the kids and management is worse than both put together.

Probation officer?

Multipleexclamationmarks · 17/01/2024 20:38

Yep you're a teacher.
I get called grandma a lot or the one who helps us tidy up.

Sounds like when I worked on a psych ward.

hooplawoopla · 17/01/2024 20:39

Almost.. I'm a Ta in a primary school. Honestly didn't think my role would be like this when I started 8 years ago!

Teacher?! These things happened to me on my first and only placement of a teaching degree - never finished it.
I listen to people, stick things in them, sometimes take stuff out and hope they feel better.

hooplawoopla · 17/01/2024 20:44

@neighboursareselling it would make a lot more sense than getting this from 8 year olds! 😂

This week I’ve had scissors thrown at my back, been told to fuck off and had to sort out a large fight. Today: a 10 hour stint at work, just settling my youngest child now, then 3 more hours of work to do before bed for me.
