It is truly that time of year. The restlessness has set in and the lack of focus is impacting work. Everyone is suddenly tardy as if there is no concern for consequences. Reports are turned in late – if at all. Patience and respect for others is all but gone and there is the occasional shouting or bitter bite-back talk and sass in the hall. Admin is rarely available to quell any issues, and when they are, even they find a little pushback. Spring fever and the nearness to the end has truly affected everyone. Everyone is ready for summer … and so are the students.
Okay, you had me going! I LOL’d at that last line. Well played.
ReplyDeleteHa. I see what you did there. Hang in there! This is my first year in retirement and I remember the stress of May. I used to watch Pedro Almodovar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown around this time every year which always made me feel better.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that tip. I am looking forward to watching it this weekend. I could use a little escape.
