From the dictionary of common school admin terms

14/05/2008 by April First.

From the dictionary of Common School Admin Terms:  Chatty Teacher.   Fairly common creature that hangs around in the office chatting for no particular reason.  A variant type, the Rushed Teacher visits only for a few seconds, deposits papers, says words like “photocopy” and “by this afternoon” before running away.

Mrs Handright returned to school and came into the office to tell us that a child had been sick in the corridor.   Janice replied, “I shall alert the media”, to which Ms Handright gave a haughty “whatever” while the rest of us quickly wrote down the name of the movie from which the quote came, when it was released, who starred, and who directed.   Janice declared us all winners and bought donuts all round. 

A parent phoned to complain that his son did not have spots while everyone else had.    The Amphibious Disorder Response Unit turned up and were told the matter was under the control of the work experience students, who had not been seen since being sent out to prepare the site yesterday. 

According to local radio there is no police support available in the county owing to an outbreak of spots. 

Five more staff injured falling over the health and safety manuals.

During the afternoon eight executives from BBC Wales turned up to start sketching the layout of the school for the Doctor Who episode featuring the “Ofsted” (or should I say Oftsed as I wrote yesterday) aliens.  Five of the execs invited me out for a drink after work.  I accepted.  However three then went home with spots.

No sign of Ziggy today.  Decided to leave him/her overnight food supplies just in case.
