I don't believe in Brenna
I am so fed up with them. I can't even look at a typepad blog any more. Brenna (trying to persuade us this is a real person, how stupid do they think we are) now wants examples of our comments. I nicely reminded her (?) that I had attempted to just post a full stop as a comment and that had been refused, so I don't think the content will give them any assistance.
I have actually managed to comment on our blog, it only took 30 minutes to arrive. I am a bit worried that some of my stupid comments from yesterday have got through on other blogs. Forgive me.
Working for a local authority can be so depressing sometimes. I needed some OHP transparencies for some training tomorrow, so assumed it would be easy enough to get what I needed printed out in the building where we are delivering the training. Apparently I should have gone via purchasing so the 4 sheets can be coded to our budget! This kind of internal marketplace thinking is so crap. I just went and bought some tonight, but I'll have a job getting the money back tomorrow as there isn't really an appropriate code for these expenses. The consolation is that I should get a good pension if I live that long with all the annoyances!
Today my colleauge has been acting down to give some people a break to catch up. It has been an interesting experience bossing her around. She also said she needed an acknowledgement of her hard work before she left. I wondered why she thought she was leaving as she hadn't finished all the work. Funnily enough, I'm not going to volunteer to help out in this way!

Yes - working for a local authority is crap.
I had to send a begging letter home to parents this term, as lack of funds has left us without the means to purchase basic science resources (seeds, compost etc.)
I expect MPs don't have to bid for resources and I bet they get free tea and coffee - and chocolate biscuits.
Sorry for that rant. I can't stand to see well paid people spending public money on tea and biscuits when there isn't the money to buy my class a packet of sunflower seeds.

I'm sure it's because you work with children too. We had an email coming round about refreshments only being provided for multiagency meetings and cutting back on this budget. I replied immediately and pointed out that we didn't get a penny towards this and gave people refreshments out of our own pockets. The email also listed stationary we should be cutting down on such as 'post its'. We are banned from using post its even though they are vv useful for marking files for court. Bastards. Sodding MP's banging on about 'waste', what poxy waste?
