Boys will be boys...
It was one of those rare moments during an epic staff meeting where I was not idly singing rude songs in my head, nor thinking up inappropriate anagrammatical names for my work colleagues. In fact, I was not even doodling abstract representations of my own psyche in the margin of my pad. I was actually listening. I don't know how that came about, what breach had occurred in my usually very secure sanity-protection wall, but droning words from the oh-so-disapproving mouth of my Chinese-version Hyacinth Bucket Gruppenführer were somehow managing to embed themselves in my consciousness.
Normally this would be a case for immediate use of my hidden cyanide capsule but, luckily, one small gem of a freudian slip allowed me to rest easy...
"...watch out for the boys behaviour in class when teachers are not around, things like pushing, shoving, frisbee, playing with their balls..."
I caught the eye of one colleague and we telepathically rolled on the floor in hysterics... I'd like to think that the muted reaction of the others indicates a more developed laugh-stifling technique, but they probably just aren't as dirty-minded as me.
It goes to show what a dull, dull life I am currently leading when you find me fervently praying that those last four words make the minutes!
Cheers m'dears!

i was forced to send a page to a coworker today.. for lack of anything else, it went something like this:
"Monica, you're husband is at the back door..."
people laughed at me.. dirty people. and i was so daft, that it took me an entire 5 minutes to get it.
i'm slipping. (i'm ashamed)
My guess Binty, is the rest of the staff weren't brought up on a diet of Carry On, Benny Hill and The Two Ronnies
That's good stuff. In a staff meeting you take it where you can get it (fnar).
Poor old sausage, there is nothing quite as soul destroying as teaching English. Mi condolencia.
And that is pronounced "boo KAY"
