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 staffroom password just in case it attracts the wrong sort

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 booze is stashed - Thirsty Tuesdays, Fizz Fridays now in operation.

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

@CallmeAngelina

At least, I was Zen, but my two have just got out the old Sing Star stuff and there is awful caterwauling wafting up the stairs... DS is currently doing an awful rendition of "It's raining men!" Shock
Brilliant-mine used to have that! Grin

I think I may have given it to the charity shop!!

MrsHerculePoirot · 07/12/2020 20:23

@DrMadelineMaxwell take as long as you need. It definitely will have knocked you all for six and it’s massively stressful this time of year, particularly this year. Take care of yourself, everything else can wait. It’s hard being the one to try and be strong for others whilst also grieving yourself so be kind to you too, and allow yourself time to grieve too.

Flowerblue · 07/12/2020 20:50

I’m going in in a suit of armour and a sword tomorrow to fend off staff member who tried to put their hand my shoulder.

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 21:09

@noblegiraffe, there's zero effort being put in now! Wink

Which board? I could do with expressing somenegative emotions...

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 21:23

It's not even a bunfight, this one, Why, just a weird one about schools providing home learning to isolating students. aibu.

WhyNotMe40 · 07/12/2020 21:28

Dammit, I want a bunfight! Grin

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 21:30

Too late, it's gorn.
(How many of us reported it?)

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 21:36

Meant to say earlier, good to hear your mum is home, MrsHP

And it's probably best that you're at home, DrMadeline. Take care of yourself and your family, that's your priority.

Appuskidu · 07/12/2020 21:36

When one of us gets told off, we can’t post for a week, is that right?

How is it that some pbp can post repeatedly ??

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 21:41

The lack of bunfight is probably because I haven't got any threads going at the moment, Why

Ange says they always descend into a bunfight. It must be Ange that makes them that way.

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 21:42

I guess because they start new accounts, Appu? They wouldn't be able to log in under the old banned accounts.

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 21:44

"Ange says they always descend into a bunfight. It must be Ange that makes them that way."

Eh? You what? When did I say that? [shock}

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 21:47

Anyway, this is me at all times these days:

The Thirty-Second Republic - Christmas count down - end of term in sight
SaltyAF · 07/12/2020 21:50

We're having a really weird lull.on Covid cases at the moment. Don't get me wrong, it's been dramatically awful for another reason, but after 10s of cases prior to half term, we're currently not far off zero. The slightly worrying thing about that is that it would be easy to be lulled into a false sense of security.

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 21:51

Ahem. On the previous Republic thread you referred to, and I quote, 'Noble's new bunfight thread'.

Implying the existence of more than one Noble bunfight threads. Shock

I never bunfight, so it must be Ange that takes them that route. We know she has form...Wink

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 21:56

Hmm. OK then.
But I like buns...

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 22:00

Well I pictured this as you going 'OMG Noble you love a bunfight you liar' and then I'd hit back with 'Well I've never been banned' and then Why could pick a side and join in and we could all throw a lot of buns and feel a lot better.

CallmeAngelina · 07/12/2020 22:02

Also, we could have had people yelling, "Leave it Ange/noble. She ain't worf it."

Sorry not to oblige! Grin Perhaps I've used up all my angry energy on some of our goady fucker friends elsewhere.

ChloeDecker · 07/12/2020 22:03

Mmmm buns. Yummy goodness Cake

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 22:04

Yeah, less zen, more flat.

I can't even be arsed to start a new thread. How unusual is that??

noblegiraffe · 07/12/2020 22:06

Chloe!! You don't get a bun, you get a massive banner saying 'YOU BEAUTY'.

So nicely done yesterday.

WhyNotMe40 · 07/12/2020 22:08
