Supply - sooo bored
Posted by jenmacAm going demented waiting for the phone to ring! It would be OK if I knew it was going to end - ie I’m going back to work next Monday - but this indefinite moping around is draining! If this continues, I will definitely have found an alternative career by October.
Posted by michelle2486I feel the same. I got up this morning, got ready, showered etc, called the council to be told I’m not needed, so climbed back into bed. Really not what I thought would be happening. I knew it would be hard but how long are we supposed to put up with this?
Posted by SmidsyWelcome to the wonderful world of supply.
Posted by gillymonkeyI’m finding it a struggle to force myself to get up in the morning. My other half is having to literally kick me out of bed. I end up getting dressed, then spending all morning in front of the TV. I just wish there was an end in sight.
Posted by ryelandLight at the end of the tunnel - texts finally appeared this morning. Not my subject, but at least I know that the system works and I may be working as well - one day!
Posted by brocherWoo hoo! 70 primary jobs on TES today - about time. Best of luck.Hooray - I’m doing my first supply tomorrow
Posted by jhp06220Well the last few weeks have dragged, but I am happy to say tomorrow I will be earning again! Only booked in for the rest of the week, but know they are looking for long-term supply to start soon, so keeping everything crossed that I do a good job and get a look in when that comes up.
Posted by jenmacThat’s fab news! Nothing for me yet, I’m afraid. Trying to hang in there - it’s hard. Are you primary or secondary? Good luck with it!
Posted by jhp-6220Primary - and I got it through a friend of a friend and by contacting the school direct - not via the council. It seems to be the way for anyone I know who has got work so far, and seems unfair. I can’t believe how nervous I am. It’s like this time last year all over again!
