A rather scary meeting and a tin can car

I attended a meeting after work this week (a bit harsh being the first week back after the summer I thought). The agenda appeared in my pigeon hole. Upon glancing at it I noticed that item 6 was Pastoral Assistants. I am a Pastoral Assistant. It is a role the school created in January of this year and my colleague L and I are the first in post.

We wondered why we were on the agenda and what we would have to say. We tried to find out but noone seemed to know. It got to the meeting and after endless waffling we came to item number 6. The head started to speak... and continued to speak for around 15 mins about what are job was and wasn't and what other staff should expect of us and not expect of us. It wasn't so bad in the end. But I wish someone had informed us in advance.

Also, the lovely new (ish) car is in the garage and they have given me a tin can to drive until its fixed. My commute to and from work is now undertaken with a scowl on my face. Maybe the wind will change and it'll stay like that...
