Another weekend in Paradise !!!

Yup so here we are at the weekend again ... and what a week we've had ...

Crazy hectic and even a little scary !!! Teachers loosing the plot & their minds ... kids accident prone ... working in a place with way tooooo many Chiefs and just not enough Indians !!! Being over qualified and INVISIBLE too ... wow ... what a week !!!

Haven't yet received my job description ... but was told verbally that I was a 'dogsbody' so
Noun
1. dogsbody - a worker who has to do all the unpleasant or boring jobs that no one else wants to do....

Yup that just about sums up my job !!! This week I have probably administered about 120 tablets ... cleaned about 50 wounds, applied about 30 ice packs... that's job1. Then copied about 5000 pages of STUFF ... phoned and begged oops I mean asked in a nice manner, companies to support our fundraising drive ... typed about 50 letters of some description or other ... been told HOW to set up cocktail tables (this was the funniest ... cos as you all know I've never done any form of catering, never worked in the hotel industry for the past 20 odd years )... don't know how to dress a table, add overlays, make it pretty !!!! In fact based on my current job... I'm pretty much not able to do anything PMSL !!!!

And all of that was just for work... then it 's been SON-shine and his requirements ... school ... finding out he's not had a maths teacher for the past 2 weeks !!! Grrrrr... his sports life ... and on Wednesday night we attended the 2010 Prize giving ... sadly SON-shine didn't receive any awards for last year ... seems 1st in your class for the year doesn't count for much ... only the top 3 kids of the GRADE (out of 200 kids) get recognised !!! But who needs a crappy piece of paper... I'm still so very proud of him for being top of his class for 2010 !!!

Friday night we had a Supporters Club Braai .. not sure if I should say much about that ... all I am going to say is ... next year when I'm in charge there will way more people there !!!And on Thursday night it was HVJR club first committee meeting ... OMG is it really that time of the year already ... I know I said roll on rugby season ... and when I said that I was thinking KB .... now I'm going oh crap that also means my time gets stretched a helluv a lot too ... Oh well no peace for the wicked !!!

Shew the weather has played very nicely this week too ... have had a chance to wear just about ALL my summer stuff ... can't decide if I like the 'dressing up' part of going to work though ???Mmmm gonna have to be making me some more matching jewels ... can't be letting the side down now !!!

And so that pretty much sums up this last week ... BORING MUCH ???

But next week sounds like it's going to be a bit more exciting ... we have the Natal Philharmonic Orchestra coming to the school to perform in a mini concert for the school on Monday, and offering a free evening concert on Wednesday ... I have to put on my catering hat for that ... Monday we have to organise the NPO's lunch and on Wednesday it's serving coffee and muffins to the guests ... so gonna get a bit of culture in my week next week ... and on Friday we have a Teachers Conference at our school ... gotta serve about 600 hungry teachers tea/coffee & snacks on Friday ... mmmm looks like maybe my catering background will help with all this ??? Or not if no-one bothers to ask me hahahaha !!!
