hali Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yup - that was what I was getting at! And spending all weekend cutting out flowers for the said card - only to find them outside on the fence because a member of staff thought they'd look pretty there. SIGH - buggers arnt they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 And spending all weekend cutting out flowers for the said card - only to find them outside on the fence because a member of staff thought they'd look pretty there. SIGH Never ever ever ever ever ever ever spend ages cutting out stuff for children to make cards with. Their scissor control may not be sufficiently well developed to cut it out to your standards, but they'll either find another way to express themselves - or have a really good go and develop their skills that way. There. I feel so much better now. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand it when someone has a clear out of the cupboard and then you spend 30 minutes looking for a particular resource and then they tell you 'Oh I threw it out because it didn't work', when all it needed was new b****y batteries!!!! And then you have to go out a replace it and and and ...... I'm not bitter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry: wasn't I clear? Kinda got the gist but always best to check I think. I have to say, its great not being staff anymore and having all those little niggles. If I dont like somewhere their name goes into my black book and I never darken their door again.

Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Got all prepared for maths follow up work making a graph of pancake toppings choosen to find the TA 'helpfully' in her lunch break has cut up and squeezed the juice from the lemon, lime and orange and thrown the peel away. Then lets the children choose all the toppings at once instead of selecting one. The graph didn't work too well..... as 35 children had lemon, orange, lime, jam and syrup on theirs. ALSO why can noone wash paint pots (except me ) with out leavng a trace of old paint that contaminates the fresh paint. ALSO why do the paper towels run out in lunchtime hand washing AlSO why can't I carry on moaning...'cause I sshould be at school by now!!

Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 One thing that really gets me is when staff can't find something in the cupboard,ask for my help and then stand "helpfully" behind me while I get it. Fair enough you think, now you will know where it is next time, but no, no. They still have to ask the next time. If you're not going to learn from it go and do something else! Thank you I feel a bit better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've moved this into the lounge area. I know that many of you are enjoying the chance to vent and I'm sure it's very therapeutic. One little thing though, could I please ask that you do it without the swearing as some people find that offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tess Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Oh - the water tray is great today - there are no puddles. "That's because there's no water it in - is it that complicated to fill it" Still can't decide: if it a staff decision to manage Health and safety they just don't notice or they just can't be bothered. I know it drives me nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 ooh - relate to so many of these! In fact I started a post yesterday but just typing it relieved enough of the stress so I didn't post. I'm not a mindreader, I don't know I need to call in to the fruit shop on the way if I haven't been told that yesterday's snack maker used 3 days worth up - most of which ended up in the recycling because it was too much! I could go on but I'm 'working'. Needed to check in here though for replies to my post yesterday! Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaryEMac Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 When staff members can't put jigsaws back where they belong. It's not rocket science, we have a shelf for wooden puzzles and a shelf for boxed ones. I usually find them with the board games. Or when they get an activity out without checking the plans, and then go "oh sorry, I didn't realise you were going to do that tomorrow"........... I'll stop now, it's my day off, I should be relaxing.......... Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really identify with this! I am often to be heard muttering "I'm getting on my own nerves - goodness knows what I'm doing to you"! Still it's a good quality to acknowledge your own faults - isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
