Happiness Is Nine New Toilet Seats



An “international school” without toilet seats? Can you Adam and Eve it?

On my first walk-around on taking up the helm, i was not happy with the toilet facilities. Not only do we regularly run out of water, but cisterns were cracked, toilet seats missing, and dodgy wash basins. And i order flushers to be made working too, for the rare occasions when we do have full water tanks.I put these in to be replaced back at the start of September. Come December and i tried again, not least with the visit from the external Health Auditor in mind for January. Still nada.

External Health and Safety takes pics for the report of unsunken logs and our shitty washroom facilities, and for me a real highlight of the extensive report. A third requisition order is placed in the beginning of March. Ato Sin calls me from “Purchasing Committee” and asks do i really need a toilet seat in each cubicle? I am asking for nine. I go completely ballistic at him.

I spend my first day back at work covering 2B as six of my teaching staff fail to turn up, and manage only a 15 minute break throughout the day. After my Extra Curricular Guitar Club, i finally get a chance to dash upstairs to the Male Staff toilet. It has a seat!!!! I go check out the other cubicles – success! 

My sheer delight is pathetically overwhelming.
