Just in case she got lucky and is in the one school that still goes to the pub.

You can ask me!

MrsH to replace Gav, well done MrsH! Wink

CallmeAngelina · 14/01/2021 20:01

Worst. Day. Ever.

Sneaking in to the broom cupboard. This online teaching lark is heavy going.

noblegiraffe · 14/01/2021 20:04

So sorry about your friend, starry, that’s awful. Flowers :(

MrsHamlet · 14/01/2021 20:04

I couldn't do a much worse job than Gav.... and I can find my arse with both hands...

HarrietDVane · 14/01/2021 20:04

Hope you're ok @CallmeAngelina! Here's the GinGinGin - keep the bottles!

RigaBalsam · 14/01/2021 20:06

Sorry about your friend Starry. Thanks

What's up Ange?

EnemyOfEducationNo1 · 14/01/2021 20:06

@CallmeAngelina

Worst. Day. Ever.

Passes the bottle and and a straw....

Wassup?

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 14/01/2021 20:11

Sorry to hear about your friend, starry. That’s so sad and frustratingly unnecessary.

I’ve started a thread about the MHRA story on the Covid forum. No idea why. Obviously was feeling brave tonight.

CallmeAngelina · 14/01/2021 20:14

Technology.

Just technology.

Thank FUCK we're not expected to do live lessons or my reputation would be in tatters.

HarrietDVane · 14/01/2021 20:16

@CallmeAngelina GinThanks I think most of us have been on a steep learning curve with the technology this week. Breathe, and make it a triple gin.

JanuaryChill · 14/01/2021 20:18

Yay, go Rafals !

It’s not phrased as a ‘school return in tatters’ thread so I think you’re safe.

SquashedFlyBiscuits · 14/01/2021 20:23

Hi everyone, drowning this week so not been about much.

Sorry about you friend @starrynight19

Broom cupboard nearly full. Where next? PE cupboard?

noblegiraffe · 14/01/2021 20:25

PE cupboard?

Nope, that’s full of people having illicit affairs.

Maths cupboard on the other hand is totally empty.

TheHoneyBadger · 14/01/2021 20:28

Just passed that Guardian article on up the school food chain. We are always way ahead of the curve aren't we? It's amazing how they fail to see the blindingly obvious or is it that they assume we'll all be too thick to see it ourselves?

I'm not doing full dry January but I am determined not to drink every day. I did Tuesday to Sunday sober last week then drank Mon-Wed (not continuously!). I aim to not drink now till at least tomorrow night but ideally Saturday.

I am boilerless, alcohol free, fasting and severely tested today! Will be glad to go to sleep.

Sorry about friend Starry.

The maths cupboard is a good idea, but you'll have to sit on piles of textbooks. You can all play with the multi link and clicky shapes though.

JanuaryChill · 14/01/2021 20:32

Just don't leave any compasses out ... ouch!

That LFT news has made me so happy!!

Cracklefraggle · 14/01/2021 20:32

Prep room? Always plenty of ethanol and you can make a cuppa on the Bunsen Grin

Piggywaspushed · 14/01/2021 20:32

I don't even know where the cupboard is in English and in my actual dept the site agents have banned me from using the cupboard because it's a fire hazard (unlike all the blocked fire exits, dangling wires and books on top of convector heaters...). There are also rats. Big one.

By the way, does anyone have any suggestions as to why all the videos I recorded on googlemeet last night and this morning have uploaded to the google drive either with black screens and audio only, or glitchy blurredness with audio that comes and goes?

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 14/01/2021 20:37

Perhaps we should send the MHRA inspectors around to inspect all Boris’ plans. They make Ofsted look like kittens. I quite like the thought of him attempting to waffle his way through all their questions.
