Wainy316 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 All I've ever dreamt about is being a teacher. I'm doing fine at the job, but I don't know how much I actually enjoy it. I have no life. I think it's a terrible job, given the demands, all the unpaid hours and the pressures the pay is absolute dog shit. It's also a profession that's used a political football which causes inefficiencies and mayhem from an admin and planning standpoint every couple of years. My Mrs has been a teacher for 4 years and it's got to the point where we are planning her exit strategy... Teacher's pay is not at all 'dog shit'. And the further you 'progress', the more you earn. But dog shit it ain't. POnce you've gone through 'threshold' (I think it's called that) it gets even better. OK< it's not City Trader levels, but it's reasonably good. But it can be a demanding job at times, for the pay, certainly (as can many other jobs). No need to call him a ponce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm sat here looking at my screen, getting all my lessons and resources ready for the next week. Tomorrow I have to put up 2 displays, put photographs on the website, teach 4 lessons, do playground duty, mark 3 sets of books and go to a staff meeting. I'm tired, I don't have a life and it's upsetting me because it's all I've ever wanted to do. It's like a dream dying. Are you a dinner lady?

lapal_fan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 To be fair, I don't think anyone who gets to ring the dinner bell at the start and end of lunch should be complaining.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 'Lunch'... I generally have between 30-40 minutes for lunch over a whole week, if that. (But.. I don't have to mark papers or take my work home with me. So swings and roundabouts, I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 sounds like we need a "how hard do you work thread " the winner is the one who doesn't post in it due to not having enough time ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Women at work, who all they ever talk about his dieting, what they didn't eat and how they are going to the gym that night (every night). Yet they are absolute biffers. What is going on there? I tell you what, they are liars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either lose weight or not, I don't care either way, but for the love of God, find something else to talk about! I don't care how many points are in whatever it is you want to, but aren't allowed to eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 lady at my work was like that .. every week she'd lost 4 lbs ... could never work out why she hadn't faded away at that rate her personal favourite was to not drink anything all do on the day she went to her weigh in ... complete bonkers on a similar note however , 2 weeks into my no fizzy drinks and no crisps or sweets and I've lost 6 lb .. even went away for a big family do at the weekend and stayed off the alcohol and skipped dessert hoping I can see it through to Christmas .. I suspect I wont , but the main thing is I'm giving myself a fighting chance of getting off my junk food addiction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Surely everyone at some point in their jobs takes their work home, some times, mayby 2 days a week after work I have to go and measure up jobs and then work out quotes for them, type them up and print them off, and when your only getting responses off 2 out of every 10 quotes, its an incredible amount of time wasted for no return Teaching is no different to every other job.
