Despite what the head thinks, our work environment is not good. There is an obvious divide, and having been here a while I'm leaning more onto the side with people who have been working here for years, rather than the "newbies".

There has been a lot of stress, a lot of worrying about the Christmas play (next Wed, but the dress rehearsal is tomorrow, which we were told about today).

I am going to the school meal, and only one of the other staff from the side of the divide I'm more inclining to are going.

MB was looking a bit stressed, and was sitting on a chair, slumped back. In a rash moment, I decided to materialise her obvious thoughts into a sort of crazy movement, which sent her into hysterics. It's hard to describe, I guess you had to be there. :-) It was so funny though, I'd never have dreamed of doing anything so crazy. I do feel, maybe it's the division, maybe it's something to do with the fact I've been here over a year... I am accepted more by my colleagues.

When I think back to a year ago... I was stressed, I felt under-valued, and disliked. I was telling myself every day just stick it out til Summer, but now look, I'm still here, still going on, lovin' the job, but not the extra shit that seems to go along with it. One colleague's left, one had an interview last week, another had an interview this morning... with three looking for jobs in one term, isn't that saying ANYTHING at all? What does it say to you?
