Just about had enough this week!

Normally I really enjoy my job/school and even on tough days I can stay positive but this week has totally done me in.

HoD has been snappy all week - generally to/at me about things which are totally not my fault! E.g. I put a message on briefing with flea instructions for staff to do something on a particular day. Followed up with an email reminder on the day. Some didn't and therefore I got snapped at. Other things too.

Tried to do another piece of work which I then find out can't be done due to someone else's error so I got the brunt of that.

Spoke to HoD about something regarding a member of staff in the dept and guess what - got snapped at again Angry

It's been really busy all week and to top of off a particularly difficult pupil has been really awful to me - I know you shouldn't take it personally, and I wouldn't normally but with everything else it got to me Sad

I'm absolutely shattered as well and just feel like I can't do anything right. I normally get in great with HoD so I can only assume they are also very tired and just venting frustrations albeit at the wrong person!

Just one of those weeks where you feel like you don't make a difference to anyone /anything Sad

Roll on half term!

I can't wait for half term.
Have rolled from one illness to another (new school, new germs and basically, just knackered) and am on the floor.

I honestly think this half term has finished me off altogether. Starting to look around for jobs outside of teaching... and I'm SLT!

I think some of my classes have received the 'Flea Instructions', as they don't seem to be able to sit still.

It does seem to the term that keeps on giving. September feels about six months ago, and I can't even remember the summer holidays.
