Yes, we have had a run of cold and wet days - yet at the same time they keep telling us we have a drought! I can't figure it out myself.

As far as the work goes, I am sure it does even itself out. My psychologist told me, however, that teaching comes very high on the list of stressful occupations - alongside nursing. He said if I wanted a stress free job I should have gone into librarianship!

The job I applied for I wouldn't have had a summer holiday either, but like you said I wouldn't have had to grade papers or cope with many of the other stresses.

I do enjoy my job, but I don't enjoy the constant pressure. It almost never goes away. Even int he holidays I do school work - and this holiday I will have a lot of school work to do.

Ho hum! Back to looking at the job adverts
