Getting My Hands Dirty

It’s Saturday and i’m at the school site. 


I should be in my office working, but the playground is full of Maintenance staff loading rocks onto a pick-up truck by hand. The school’s wheelbarrow was loaned to the Secondary site and not returned and there is no spade to be seen, so the whole operation is being carried out by hand.


I roll up my sleeves to help the team, and carefully select some of the larger boulders to sling onto the lorry which seems to cause a mix of both bemusement and amusement amongst the workforce. I’m sure it’s not part of my job description , but i do find it a useful source of stress-relief from all the challenges i have faced in such a short space of time.
