Escape From Colditz



I call up Ginger Warrior as soon as Sin and King Ted are out the door of my office. He had a call from Ato S some 5 minutes before i called, informing that today would be my last day at school!

I read him the letter, and tel him my response to it. “You’re fucking mad Mountain” he says, “i’d be on the way to the airport by now”.

Deputies Ms J and Mr  Z are informed; Ms J is in tears, and Mr Z is as white as a native Ethiopian can turn in complete shock. I tell them not to worry and hoping to take next  Monday’s morning staff briefing.

I go into my office on Saturday morning to get on with some work, and, on impulse, i decide to call Pa for some advise. Like GW his response is a hearty mazel tov but warns me that it might be my school, but the building is the property of the General Manager and it is quite possible i might be refused entry into the building on Monday. He’s totally right, and rather than finish off the final Behaviour and Discipline Policy, i end up packing up my meagre possessions, and transferring my electronic work documents to my flash drive. My predecessor wiped all his files from the computer, but i am determined that my unfortunate successor will at least have some basis to work from.

I wait for the guard to take his lunch and sneak off site with my few treasures.
