It was so quiet at work today - there are four of us in school this week.
There's a calm, almost serene atmosphere to the place that is normally missing and you see things that you don't normally notice on a normal school day. The post arrived early and was collected early, and even the email system seemed to be more efficient - I tell you, students and teachers should be banned from schools!
The sun was shining, the birds were singing - I could go on like this all day and have you believe that it was a brilliant day, but alas no. A work colleague made a error in the accounts system ages ago, which has only just come to light. We are in a new financial year and the system won't let us go back and correct it - solution, roll everything back to the error, correct and re-input everything - bugger!
It's actually quite boring without the students (I reserve the right not to include the teachers).
It's just too quiet for words. I had convinced myself that the Easter break would be bliss without teachers and students, but after only one day, I'm wishing them back, and when they come back I'll wish they weren't there again - contrary I know!
The school holidays are the time when most schools get all their maintenance jobs done - things that cannot be done in term time due to the disruption and the fact that all the contractors would have to have a CRB check done. This holiday all the corridors are being painted to remove all the scuff marks. Maybe we are a particularly lucky school, but we don't appear to suffer with graffiti. The marks on the walls mainly come from shoes and bags being dragged along them. The lift is also being serviced as is the alarm system, so there's plenty to be done.
Lunch was a MacDonald's which felt quite naughty as we are a healthy school (you should see the wine in fridge!!!!).
Only 7 working days until they're back!!!
