Talk About Work Thread

I know what you're talking about. If you go a bit overboard with text it means always an additional 4 pages.

I had a gross week - I got sucked into a powerstruggle with a very senior person who wanted to change a brand. You NEVER modify the brand architecture ever unless you re-brand.

Now I am very exhausted :tired:

Dr A.D. prescribes a good Japanese meal, plenty of alcohol and a good JDrama. Repeat as necessary ;)

Gawd, it's already starting to happen. I'm getting sick of the teenagers I teach, and it's only my fourth year teaching. A billion more years to go. :sweat:

Time to start appreciating wine, like my sister-in-law... But she's not an alcoholic, mind you. :sweat:

"appreciating wine" :rofl:

The kids are fine. They're sweet and lovely. I'm just exhausted. They exhaust me. I need space. I'm tired of them. And it's not their fault. I can't wait for the break.

That's exactly what I keep telling myself. I work with a teacher right now (she's new) who won't stop complaining about a class that, really, isn't that bad. It's to the point where she now wishes she hadn't applied.

Meanwhile, another teacher who works so hard, can't even get a perm. contract. The other teacher is making me frustrated. :shakehead:

I am working today in our back-up office 30mins outside the city.
It`s in a town called Braine.

We call it Braindead.

This week as been painful.

I arrived from Japan (after three different flights without 20 hours) at 4am Monday morning, and slept from 5am to 6am. I then went straight to work. It's now Friday and I haven't had a chance to get over the jet-lag or even catch up with sleeping.

The stupid thing on my part is that I planned all new units for my three classes, so I've been doing a lot of teaching. I'm beat. I plan to sleep this entire weekend.

That's o.k., get rested up, :sleep: we got plenty of time to catch-up. :hug: [/list:u]
