Mountain Man is strong and fights the
fever on Wednesday, drinking his fist cup of coffee since Saturday (MM is
usually a 6 – 8 a day kinda guy) on Thursday, and eating a half burger for
lunch today. I was meant to go for a check-up at the Landmark hospital, but i
have no faith in any diagnosis the might deliver, and i feel tons better.
I was also told to stay at home for
three days and rest, but apart from three hours on Tuesday i have been at least
one of the school campuses.
As i have grown stronger, so have my
kids, and we finally have a drop of sicky numbers. We’re back to big hugs and
kisses all round.
SMT was eventually held in my office,
with Ato S sitting as far away as possible from me. It was an utterly appaling
meeting, even without Boss precense. He wants everything to go through him
personally, Newsletters, website information, et al. “New procedures must be
followed,” he barks at Ginger Warrior and myself. And his new brain-child? A
series of new committees, including purchasing, employment and the local Teacher’s
Union, consisting of Dr No replacement
The Sly Giraffe, and Head of Admin. Ato Sin. More “new procedures” and more
hoops for jumping through to impede progress. It takes well over an hour and a
half to review all the minutes from the last meeting. It’s diabolical.After
ordering me to write a report “immediately” of my actions last week, Ato S didn’t
even bother to read it.
When the meeting finally finishes. Mr T,
GW and Mountain Man head across to The Pavillion Cafe. GW and i are disgusted,
but returnee Mr Ted takes it all in his stride. I guess suddenly he is The New
King – a quantum turnaround.
I walk into Miss J’s class and tell her i won’t be returning after the summer vacation. I can’t work like this. And it’s a
liberating feeling.
