Minor Rant Thread part 3

[janeyo]

getting an email today saying I am having a lesson observed tomorrow. And my school laptop still hasn't been fixed (only been waiting since before xmas, but as I only do 2 afternoons a week I am really low priority for IT fixes) so it won't be an impressive lesson using any ICT

Germans.
Needless gloating
Over zealous security people
Germans
Very short notice "oh, can you just pop across and collect our workers" emails
Germans
People expecting miracles without even providing you the water that could possibly be turned into wine (these people are German).
2 extra days in this place.
Putting myself in a risky situation, to assist others, to not even have one word of thanks from over 30 people. (Guess their nationality?).

Crisis intervention teams that can't/wont intervene in a crisis. Four weeks down the line we are told to phone the very dept that we phoned in the first instance that can't see us for 8 weeks!

Finding out that one of my stepsons or one of their friends have stolen from me. Whats more, the thing they stole wasn't mine, it was a phone I was going to be sending off to a recycling company for a friend.

Heads are gonna roll, and the boys are going to find life much more difficult from now on........

Being asked by a friend-of-a-friend if I will take 2 unwanted cockerels, and them getting shirty cos I said No.

Apparantly I am cruel for not rehoming them, as I have lots of space in my garden/paddock.

Yes I do have lots of space, but I already have 5 cockerels, and I don't need any more! She doesn't want them to be killed/eaten, as that would be cruel as well.

Being put down to work lotsa extra hours when I have more important things to attend to........and them being spread out over the week so I don't have any days off. It would have been nice to have been asked if I wanted them instead of it being assumed.......I don't mind a few extra but not more than double my normal hours. After all 'tis the Spring.......
