maybe this should be with the other poll, since I like my job and it is really great for right now, but since you asked...
the single worst thing about my job is the "queen teacher" (oldest teacher? most powerful teacher? whatever) has a sister who lives in the states and is going thro a nasty divorce with her american husband, so "queen teacher" is taking out her frustration about the horribleness of american men on me. when I forget to avoid her, this gets annoying. |

Teachers phoning me up over the weekend and telling me they were quiting and not going into to work this morning  Getting chucked by your girlfriend is no reason to quit your job |

| Like almuze, I've got a job I like that's really great for me right now and I'm hoping I'll get my contract renewed next year...but... The hours! The teaching load is okay but, man, the prep work is killing me! If I can survive through the end of this month, I think I'll be okay...maybe. |

| Mostly, I have problems with people imagining they've got things bad when that isn't at all true. Unfortunately, some people want the world to revolve around them. |

The kids what else could there be. I just had 14 year old give a short display of 'self pleasuer' in class while my back was turned.
So what else is new.
P.S wonder is Ghost can turn this into a negative spot. |

i almost picked the pointless admin meetings - that is definitely a close second. but for me it is the trips to the little primary school to teach for a few hours with a group of women that are set in their ways and quite frustrating
other then that everything is peachy, most of the time especially when i skip meetings |
