[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

Stavi are you at the school yet?

This is the time when San Diego is beginning to warm up to the hot level so I'm using ice in my drinks and the plastic ice cube trays I'm using are a royal pain. First off the twist method doesn't want to work and then all of a sudden it does and everything fell on the floor.
Tom

TOM....where were you, man? I missed you at the Tipsy Crow in the Gaslamp quarter a couple of days ago, for the get-together thing....maybe the only chance anyone here at maintitles would have had to see you in the flesh. Pubs and social settings might not be your thing, but I wish you'd gotten back to me for a meet-up somehow (I sent you a couple of PMs before departure, but didn't hear anything back). Too late now, though. But I enjoyed your city for two whole days.

What is 'M. Ed.', Stav?

I can confirm that Tom does exist! I had the pleasure of meeting up with him when I was in San Diego several years back. He was kind enough to invite me round to his home, listening to some scores aa well as taking me to watch a college baseball game. A great time.

Shame that things didn't work out for your gathering.

Yikes, how did you get a cut one your eyebrow?
Hmm Belgians and rain, we are used to it, I guess. But you still have my sympathy.

Stavi, take it from somebody who knows what it is to work too much, you are working too much.
Is there any way to cut back on hours, delegate stuff to other people or just simply don't work that intensely when you are at work?

This is serious stuff. Now it's a 'harmless' cut in your eyebrow, but the next time you might fall asleep behind the wheel of a car, or trip down a flight of stairs and get way more serious damage done to yourself...

Please girl, I like you too much to see yourself get hurt. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thank you guys for caring.

Elin I know you are right but right now there is nothing I can do. I have spoken with my boss and she knows everything and hopefully this week things will get better and the new people at work will have learn enough so I will be able to let some stuff off me. I just hope this happens quick enough before anything bad happens.

You will be working both at the school and office ?

I apologise.

What an ungrateful piece of shit I am.

That better?

Wait, aren't you a permanent teacher? Or are you αναπληρώτρια?

It's a sexy name

Yeah, they're trying to extend the legal period for government institutions (! You know: the ones that should be setting a good example!) to three months here as well.

Not that that's needed....usually they take well up to SIX MONTHS to pay up.
Due process and the potential for backbilling, dontcha know.

It's not easy these days, is it?
Take care of yourself, Stav.
No one else (professionally) will.

Take good care of yourself Stavi and try to take some time for yourself to relax ...
Like Martijn said , nobody at work will ...
