So, it's the summer holidays. Been off work almost 2 weeks and I thought I should check my e-mails. After all, the support staff with year-round contracts (rather than term time only, like me) are still working, so there might be stuff going on that I should know about.
It turns out that today the Head of Grounds resigned and the Head Steward accepted redundancy. The support staff team already lost the Head Cleaner, Biology Technician, a matron and the DT Technician this year. That's a lot of key people gone!
So what I'm wondering with these latest changes, is what exactly is going on? Stuck in the science block I don't tend to hear all the news and I don't have a manager from within the support staff team so don't get any feed back on meetings etc. I know the new-ish Bursar has pissed off a lot of people and don't even get me started on the HR people!
Is it time to start looking for a new job before I find myself forced to?
One thing's for sure, the school is turning into a very different place from the one I joined nearly 4 years ago and that saddens me.

They do care!
Some days you feel like no one appreciates anything you do and you're totally being taken for granted.
Today is not one of those days! My HoD and another physics teacher have just given me a HUGE bunch of flowers, a bottle of champagne and a card to thank me for all my hard work this academic year.
