Holy shit detective! It actually collapsed? WTAF? Is DP there? Get some takeaway.
PP is it tomorrow? I'll be thinking of you. I've never had to do an interview lesson so I would be papping myself. You sound like you have balls of steel and to cope with what you have and take this on - I can think of few people more deserving. I think I would love to share a staffroom with you.
pikz glad LO is more settled. It is truly awful when you have no idea what the matter is. Teething?
That sounds very exciting horsey. Fingers crossed for you as well.
glenda and stunt and daisy you are total champions trying to balance work and study with babies. Have I missed anyone? I have so much respect for you all. Considering how I spend my days . . .
I am really interested in the work chat. Before P I was the main only earner and it was my career that really was the driving force. I was promoted very early in my career and have spent the last two years preparing for the step to depute rector (in Scotland many secondary schools call head teachers rectors). It has been all consuming and fraught with disappointment. Immediately prior to getting married and then conceiving the lovely P I failed to get another internal post. It was a massive shock to everyone if I am honest and I found it very hard managing other people's shock if that doesn't sound horribly egotistical.
However, DH and I both agreed that had I got the post - which was temporary - we would not have had so much fun on honeymoon making Penelope! We would have chosen to wait to see if I got a permanent job and then I would have wanted to bed into the role meaning possibly another 2 years.
I am so glad I didn't get that job.
