How many of you have your own desk and computer?

I just changed schools. I have 3 country schools. At two of my schools I have my own space. But my main school, I'm here two times a week, doesn't have anywhere for me. My co-teacher actually has 2 computers. One in the teachers office and the one in the English lab. Why she needs 2 who knows. On the bright side she wants to use the text book and I have no real planning to do here. My other two schools I actually get to teach and it's real nice. Trading no real work for 2 days out of the week of no space might not be such a bad thing.

I know some teachers get real crappy places like a broom closet or something. Anyone got or had anything real bad?

wait, you don't even have a desk? where do you sit for the 4ish hours a day of deskwarming? That's ridiculous, demand (gently) that they provide a desk and preferably a computer. If they don't, call your coordinator.

I use the computer lab computers. It's not the same but it's ok. The desk is made for kids of course. I'm taller and larger than the average bear so it kinda sucks. Just curious about everyone else.

In the teachers' area, there is a long table/desk built onto the wall. Every teacher has their own "area" on the desk.

I have a desk and computer in the teacher's office and another desk and computer in the English Zone, which is where I spend most of my time.

Some of the really old timers might remember the early days. When GEPIK was part of EPIK. It was not unusual for NET's to have a seat without a computer and expected to be there all day long. Booooring.

I have no desk, table, chair, computer. Zilch, nada, nothing.

I have my own office with a large desk, a computer, laser printer and a scanner. People come in all the time to use the equipment. They ask me "what's so funny" when I'm reading Dave's. I tell them and they say "not funny". Children come in and ask for candies all the time. I make them do few pages of Step and Jump conversation or make them do push ups. One candy is 10 push ups.
