You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement. Baiters, haters, goaders and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are NOT staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

You can play here if you are a member of one the following groups-

-ABBA - anti bashers and baiting association
-SWAB - school workers against bashers
-SWOT - school workers opposing teacherbashers
-STARS - schoolworkers together against ranting + slurs

Do not give ‘The Every twat for Themselves mob’ the staffroom password as a number of them are operating in an alternative reality.

No DfE muppets allowed

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes, and the ability to sniff out where the toffee vodka is hidden.

If you are fed up with cakes and biscuits there is now a cheeseboard on offer

If you come with a stick to goad us then that is not allowed in the staffroom and you will receive a detention

@Piggywaspushed

I only drink gin at Christmas. My special Xmas gin. But I will hold everyone's hair back if necessary.
Have you seen that M and S are doing a special Christmas light up glow gin? I’m might purchase just to try it out!
SmileEachDay · 01/11/2020 21:46

I bloody love gin.

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:47

@MrsHamlet

There's no getting of coats in the staffroom. Remember someone locked the doors so we're all here forever now.
It's like the Hotel California in here.

@MrsHamlet

I only drink gin when I'm thirsty
Maybe the quote of the week.
HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:47

Anyway I hope you all enjoy your first day back if it is tomorrow and hope you feel as relaxed as possible x Gin

@HeyBaby2020

I haven’t come on to argue with anyone though Sad
Good because this is a support thread that has allowed a number of us to stay sane since March.

Welcome Smile

Oh well let’s see what the next half term brings. Am sure it’s going to be lots of ins and outs yet again.

Wondering which of us will get sent home first between me and dc.

Very strange times indeed both on here and in real life.

Hope tomorrow goes well for those working in and out of school Smile

@CallmeAngelina

Well, I'm starting back on my diet tomorrow, so there'll be no alcohol (well, limited, anyway) or cake for me. I lost 3 and a half stone a coupe of years ago and was looking so bloody good on it, but a fair chunk of it has gone back on (bloody lockdown) and I look like a blimp so... wish me luck!
I will join you!

Light up gin!

Oh wow!

I'll probably just buy it as a toy.

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:50

I don't work Mondays.
Thank God.

TheHoneyBadger · 01/11/2020 21:51

Yep. Sleep well everyone. I was giddily off to read then suddenly remembered I need to plug the digital radio alarm clock back in and turn all the alarms back on on my phone.

Would have been interested to wake up at midday and realise I'd missed work and ds had missed school Confused

Someone turn the staffroom lights off and make sure to put away and leftovers. Remember it's important to not feed the Ts.

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:51

Thank you! You’ve done a great job making these threads

MrsHamlet · 01/11/2020 21:51

I had mulled wine tea in my flask a few weeks ago. It smelled delicious and the kids commented on it. Sadly it tasted like sadness.
Then one of them pointed out that I could have mulled wine and pretend it was tea. Good thinking y11 boy!

Piggywaspushed · 01/11/2020 21:53

Training Day for me.

Otherwise known as piss up in brewery.

ChloeDecker · 01/11/2020 21:54

Sadly it tasted like sadness

I’m so sorry but I am laughing so hard at that!
I’m with you there chick!

MsAwesomeDragon · 01/11/2020 21:56

I've just had an email informing me of the first positive staff case in my school (that I know of). Luckily, symptoms only developed over half term, so nobody else at school counts as a close contact.

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:56

Well I can tell you one thing I agree with is the love of gin Gin 😂

TheHoneyBadger · 01/11/2020 21:56

Chocolate teapots top tips day? Turkeys tell all about surviving Christmas training?

Night all x

WhenSheWasBad · 01/11/2020 21:56

Light up Xmas gin sounds amazing.

I think I need to cut back on all booze, I’ve been indulging far too much over half term.

Will be interesting to see what this term has to offer.

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:57

@CallmeAngelina

I don't work Mondays. Thank God.
Enjoy your day off 😘
Hercwasonaroll · 01/11/2020 21:57

I only drink gin when I'm thirsty

My new life motto.

Good luck all. See you Friday evening when we can survey the carnage.

MsAwesomeDragon · 01/11/2020 21:58

I have PPA first lesson tomorrow, so I have very sensibly left a shit load of stuff I could have done over the holidays to be rushed through in an hour tomorrow morning. It's all little bitty things, but I suspect there are so many of those little niggly things that it may take longer than an hour. Oops. Hey ho, at least all none of them are urgent.

Is it this?

I don’t even like gin much but am tempted by the bottle!

Frlrlrubert · 01/11/2020 21:59

Right.

I'm all ready for tomorrow. I've bottom set y11 lesson 1. I'll need my game face in for sure!

Good luck everyone, sleep well

starrynight19 · 01/11/2020 22:00

Yep been lovely being in the virtual staffroom this week back to not actually going in the real life one for the rest of the year Confused

Happy training / self isolating / online teaching / classroom teaching everyone. Here’s to another crazy half term Gin
