Just how appreciated are you?

[OverWorked]

* 1 bottle wine from the head (everyone got one - but nice anyway)

* 2 bottles of decent beer from a teacher (great bloke)

* 1 heavy parcel from the women in the office (bit worried about that one, knowing them - daren't open it in front of family)

* 1 bottle of something from a teacher

* 1 box chocs from a teacher

 

[i feel a bit guilty about saying this, but what the heck. The last item comes from a teacher who shouts at me in front of the kids all year round. This happens every year. They treat me like a bad pupil, then buy me small gifts at Christmas and summer. I'm sure that means something, but can't think what.]

two prezzies from staff members

Two cards from current teachers; and a fist full of M&S tokens from a retired one! (I still record some French TV for her on the odd occasion)

[beeswax]

I got a card from the Finance Officer. The head of ICT said she's written out cards for us but had "left them in the car"

[SpuffMonkey]

The only cards any of us IT guys got was from the Admin staff - not a single teacher bothered with a card - thanks *not*. In fact in my 3 Christmases here - only 1 teacher has ever given me a card - and that was a long term supply guy - who was always exquisitely polite and friendly - needless to say - he left to work somewhere else.

[MikeW]

20 bottles of Stella (Head of ICT)

1 bottle red wine (Dep Head)

and some cards

[Little-Miss]

lol, still half asleep this morning, took me at least a minute to work out that this is an old thread.....especially when i only read the 16/12 bit lol...not the 2005 bit!

[ZeroHour]

So far we have got absolutely Jack here but the school does not close until a week Thursday.

[joe90bass]

We've had one box of Cadbury choccie biccies here. As my tech was off ill and my willpower weak I ate them all.......................... Think I need to buy a box to replace them

[Disaster]

Blimey, we dont finish til next friday! (I do get 2 weeks off for chrimbo gratis though

so far a box of nice biccies and a card.

Still plenty of time for goodies (I doubt we'll get anymore)

[CheeseDog]

We don't finish til next Wednesday but the rest of that week is time for me to create a new email server (The old one is running on an 8 year old bit of kit and the software is really quite bad)!

 

No rest for the wicked!

 

They usually give us Biccies, Red or White wine sometimes even Whisky!

 

Wes

 

Hope that is single malt Whisky.

[Pyroman]

Nothing here yet but a week and 3 days to go =D

 

*fingers crossed*

[tech_guy]

We've had bu@@er all - they're all still harping on over the fact the LEA have blocked YouTube. D!pst!cks.

[Pyroman]

I got 4 cadbury's chocolate fingers for helping out one of the kids make a christmas postbox. I say help... i supplied the box =D

[mattx]

The kids and teachers finish on Thursday - I finish on the 19th. I have sweet Fanny Adams. [ And that's how it normally is, until the VERY nice school Secretary normally gives me some of her stuff for me to take home for my kids ]

[witch]

I will get....nothing except a small and greatly appreciated gift from my ICT co ord.

I have never had anything else.

In fact, in the school I am leaving, the TAs and me actually got presented with some chocs in the final assembly one year - but not the following year even though it was the same head teacher - very odd

[Little-Miss]

Well, this is my first xmas at this school...

 

We finish on the 19th. We're doing secret santa.....dread to think what im going to get...

 

At my last school the head of ICT used to give me wine and chocolates...but we had to do it in secret because he never got the NM anything, (like many) he couldnt stand her.

[Little-Miss]

....I have sweet Fanny Adams....

 

She sounds nice.....

[bossman]

We got our first Christmas card yesterday from our cleaner, nowt from the rest of the staff (nothing much changed there then) we don't break up til next friday though so you never know?

[contink]

Two hugs from two really great kids...

 

Low in fat, big in smiles and doesn't sit on the hips... Oh but then one of them wanted hoisting up so that's a lie too

 

There really is no substitute for a little love though...

[mattx]

She sounds nice.....

 

She speaks quite highly of you.......

 

We need more people like you on here Little Miss.

 

I would like to buy all the Edugeek Mods a Sense of Humor for Xmas - as I feel, [ and remember this is my own personal opinion, it's lacking sometimes ]

Here are some tips - I hope they help all:
