Nothing happens; chaos; I could enjoy this

My second day under the new school regime, and a real boost.  It seems that the chaos that is rampant throughout the school which Janice and I have so carefully nurtured in the past year, is as vibrant as ever.  For all the bluster and pomp, for all the re-writing of history New Progress really don’t seem to know what they want or how they want it. 

Which means once again the Administration is in Power and Control.

But the New Progress people are expert at making it look like they know.   Everyone who works for New Progress is incredibly smartly dressed - power dressing I think they call it.  As if the way you dress affects how good you are at your job!

Doors are closed - locked even - as if this seems to signify that one is working hard because the door is closed.  Twice I asked for clarification during the day, on an issue where I was supposed rewriting (”updating and correcting”) the record of what happened last term and each time I was told that there would be an answer shortly.   There hasn’t been.

The pupils and students return next week, and I am not sure that we are going to be able to cope.  All sorts of new updated systems have been promised for the running of the school, but none seem to be working, and I have not got a clue what I am supposed to be doing - other than waiting for the crumbs of information that come out of the room of Mrs Bland - who actually seems to be controlling everything.

I have been told to send out a press release.  Dutifully I prepared the script I was given and according to instruction emailed my copy (which was in fact just the copy I was given before) back to Mrs Bland.

Two hours later I received an email telling me that the copy was completely unacceptable and would need re-writing.   So I didn’t send it.

In a rather strange way I think this might turn out to be quite amusing.  Especially when Janice comes back to work.
