15th January - spiralling out of control
Things have got so crazy here they are farcical. I was going to write my notice this weekend but now things are really hotting up so I might stick around to watch events unfold.
Teachers are talking about going to Bahrain for a night to get some alcohol after a week of exhaustion and total chaos.
Management have meetings shut away in offices in the admin block and leave the teachers to cope with the havoc in the teaching block.
Classes with no teacher run riot in the corridors.
The Head of Department has resigned.
The students are running feral around the college, having picnics in the photocopy room, under the stairs, in the classrooms, stealing speakers for a disco on the 2nd floor
A group of feral students occupied my computer while I was at lunch earlier this week, plugging my speakers into their mobile and a Blackberry into my laptop.
As my work laptop has never worked with the speakers, I hid them in a disused room. During a class, they later returned demanding my speakers! I found out today they've been pinching speakers from lots of classrooms for their 2nd floor disco.
My laplap wasn't working all morning. I thought it was the connection. However the IT girl came round to fix and discovered the laptop is totally screwed because of the ferals plugging in their Blackberry and ruining the hardware.
At lunchtime today about 20 or so girls had a massive fight, punching and kicking, with fingernails ripped out and bloodied heads.
The new managers are demanding more admin from teachers. We now have to fill in yet more Excel spreadsheets despite a 30 teaching hour week and have 2 on-line registers to fill in.
Well I have the ferals to thank for my inability to do any of it. Thank God my work computer is f....d!
I'm not going to resign just yet. It's getting really exciting now. I want to see how bad things get!
