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 for school staff to let off steam.

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.

Do not give the staffroom password to non-staff as it attracts the wrong sort of crowd.

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. Do not sit on the chairs and do wear a mask. Finally, upload your covid test results twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Tall and scary, piggy. Wink

HercwasanEnemyofEducation · 29/05/2021 20:11

I'm really not scary. Though my department would describe me as such.

I'd call piggy piggypugwash and noble nob.

Piggywaspushed · 29/05/2021 20:12

Secretly 5'11.

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 20:12

That would be nice @MrsHamlet, especially if they supply First Dates.....

Yes luckily we haven’t had to book a table.
“What name Madam?”
“It was booked by The Honey Badger, I believe.”
Hmm

I knew it, Herc!

Piggywaspushed · 29/05/2021 20:13

Better than Piggywashpushed that I have had! How does that make any sense at all??

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 20:15

noble nob

Angry MrsHP should be scared to meet me after starting that...

Piggywaspushed · 29/05/2021 20:16

Maybe noble should start a thread called 'Who is the scariest teacher on MN?'

I think we all know who would win.

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 20:23

Love you all 😘

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 20:39

Someone I’ve not mentioned, piggy? Hmm. Chloe? She can be quite feisty.

ChloeDecker · 29/05/2021 21:26

Not when I’ve had Pimms Wink

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 21:40

I’m all out of ideas then 🤷‍♀️

MrsHerculePoirot · 29/05/2021 21:43

Im definitely scared after my error 🤣

I’d like you to sketch what you think we all look like 🤣🤣🤣

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 22:17

Apparently Boris and Carrie have had a surprise wedding ceremony in Westminster Cathedral. I had to have a look st the inevitable thread about it and saw catfromjapan post an enviable Boris RL story!

(What a silly thing to post on here... must be my nerves about tmrw! Grin)

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 22:23

Oh Jan you made me look and now I’m frustrated.

I’m wondering what story they’re trying to knock off the Sunday front pages.

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 22:35

I’d like you to sketch what you think we all look like

I’m the best artist.

Oi!!! What have I missed?
Been Busy Doing Real Life all day/evening and just scrolled through and saw "Ange is scary."
Shock Hmmph!
Going back to check all this out!!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 29/05/2021 22:43

I’m not sure I’d say you were scary Ange.

You would win the ‘most likely to get banned from MN’ category though.

Lol at the thought of Jan being a serial killer through. I can’t see it.

DanglingMod · 29/05/2021 22:45

It's always the quiet (librarian) ones...

CallmeHendricks · 29/05/2021 22:46

Right. Am up to date.

So.... It's @JanFebAnyMonth who said I'm scary. And have been banned regularly!!!
ACTUALLY, I've only been banned once, as the second time it was all a misunderstanding and Noble vouched for my good character and got me off on a technicality.
I'm probably (definitely) a bit older than some of you and I'm finding that I don't give much of a shit any more, so I'm probably more blunt than I used to be. That said, I'm a bit "all mouth and no trousers" also.
And I don't look ANYTHING LIKE Angelina Jolie. (who I think IS scary).

CallmeHendricks · 29/05/2021 22:47

So, if we did all meet up, would we have to wear name badges? Or would we play some weird party game of having to guess who was who?

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 22:49

Apologies Republican formerly known as Ange, was just teasing.

Well I guess the librarians might have picked up some murderous tips from the crime genre shelves........

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2021 22:49

Jan could definitely be a serial killer. She started a schools thread in the covid section, don’t underestimate her!

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 22:50

The name badges would have to have UNs plus actual names. (I have thought about this!)

JanFebAnyMonth · 29/05/2021 22:52

Night all, need to get my beauty sleep before reading* in our first indoor church service of 2021, then lunching with my new RL friend....

  • as in “doing a reading”, not “reading (a library book all through the service)”
