Minor things that make you happy

Nice to hear someone that is happy to work as a teacher! My fiancée is seriously considering quitting the profession as the workload is mental (cue "but they get half the year off in holiday" comments!).

It's been absolutely crazy, working til 9pm almost every day, but she expected it so isn't too bothered. It'll get worse, of course, but she can only give it a go and hope for the best.

Yeah think it is par for the course. Mine leaves for work at 7 and is back home most nights after 6.30 then cracks on with marking etc. On top of that you are regularly watched by people etc. Imagine having people just come in to your work and just sit watching you do things and taking notes! That's without even mentioning Offsted inspections!!!

The major downside is you don't get much time together (some may say this is a bonus!) and she is always asleep by 9.30! Ha ha

They're called Internal Auditors, and they are without doubt the most boring, joyless, horrid bunch of goons you can possibly imagine.

This one chap monitored me one time, and he had 3 different coloured biros, each indicating a different thing (eg red meant something he saw as a violation, green was something that should be noted as praiseworthy etc). Imagine living like that.

In my previous role we had risk auditors. To be honest you could butter them up really easily and everything was generally fine.

Current job has none of that. And it's better.
