Did something a bit silly at work

[Saracopp]

I regularly visit schools for my job. One school had to change premises to a larger school site whilst building works were being undertaken on the original school building.

The support staff of the new building were unpleasant and unfriendly- possibly because they didn’t want to share their building with another school.

Each week for the past nine months or so I’ve experienced unpleasantness with one particular member of staff on the front desk. Things like deliberately keeping me waiting to let me in and out of the building (she would pretend she wasn’t in the office, but I could see her in the reflection of one of the windows, she thought she was out of sight), abrupt manner, unhelpful, not passing on messages, rolling eyes because she has to get out of her chair to press a button to release the door, huffing because my mere presence is an inconvenience etc, you get the picture.

A couple of weeks ago we had a slight altercation, she was scowling as usual as I arrived and I asked her if everything was ok as she seemed quite unhappy to see me. She immediately became defensive and gave me a right mouthful so I calmly told her she maybe should develop some social skills given she was on the front desk 😳

I spoke to the head teacher of ‘my school’ who said she’d deal with it. Miraculously, over the next couple of weeks the doors were unlocked and she was not in the office as I walked passed. Result

Today was my last day as the school are moving back to their original premises after half term and I did something a little immature. In the foyer at the entrance is a photograph of all the school staff and their names, there was no-one around. Without thinking I got out my sharpie and drew a moustache and angry eyebrows on the picture of this person. Under her name I wrote ‘Miss Funsucker’. I did chuckle about it for the rest of the day but now I feel a bit bad and anxious I will get into trouble- it wouldn’t take Sherlock Holmes to work out it was me 😬

should I do nothing or should I do something - if so what? I know it’s a long shot but has anyone else done this?

If you say so. That's nothing to do with saying people don't have a sense of humour because they don't think what the OP did was funny.

You can have simultaneously have both a sense of humour and professionalism. I do, and I work in a school.

Good. No security isn't nonsense. Silly women who can't work in a team are.

Me too.

Not in a school it doesn’t and not past 8 years old,

two grown ass women acting like this,

Okie doke 😀

This thread is so extreme.

One side has the odd people who find it all hilarious and are "tittering" hours later about how funny the op is and the other has the outraged pile on about what a disgusting thing to do.

Then there's the op who's gone from worried to absolutely loving the attention and desperately milking it.

You're a school counsellor and I know who you are. You're mentally unwell.

🍿🍿

Does the OP deal with antisocial behaviour?

Ooooooooh, this adds a whole new exciting twist. Do you think the school Saracopp has been visiting and drawing her graffiti on has CCTV?!

Are you the receptionist?

Yeah I can assure you, you definitely don’t know me 👍🏻

Are you the moustached misery guts then?.

How can you be sure.

I used to vaguely know a school counsellor and she was quite bizarre at times.

I think I know her too. Real name not so far removed from her username 😱

How can you be so sure?

This is great

Because I don’t exist as far as your concerned
100%

I hope she isn't a school counsellor. She could have any number of freelance roles. I expect that if she thinks she's been identified she'll be running off to MNHQ to request removal.

Oh bother I’ve been caught

Im not a school counsellor and I’m
not bizarre. You got the wrong person

Well I haven’t responded as I can’t prove it without identifying myself. You’re entitled to your opinion, doesn’t make it fact

Not needed but thanks anyway

My concerned 100% what?
