We break up tomorrow - guess how many Xmas cards I have got ?

[sister_annex]

We're not doing too bad:

 

3 tins of Roses

2 tins of Quality Street

1 box of Quality Street

24 Mince Pies

Shortbread

other assorted Biscuits

One IT Teacher just bought us breakfast - 12 doghnuts and 2 litres of Orange juice

 

we must be really loved....

 

Happy Christmas All!!

[Gibbo]

Looking better now. 5 cards and the chocolate is piling up. No booze yet though.

[tech_guy]

So far four cards, some shortbread, and a kiss off one of the TAs.......

Were tongues involved with the TA kiss ?

[tech_guy]

No, but there was a bit of bum squeezing. I was a bit shocked as I've never had a male member of staff do that to me before

[LosOjos]

I'm up to 8 cards and a box of maltesers from SLT... last year I got about 5 bottles of wine, but this year no alcohol... the irony is I know it's because I've been so damn busy this term I've not had chance to chat to the other staff as much as last year!

[sippo]

I've got 5 cards, a box of black magic, 4 cans of fosters and a free school xmas lunch. I had to keep dropping hints mind.

 

Better than last year!

Kiss goodbye to your World Cup ticket then!!!

So far I've been given;

5 cards,

 

a tin of Heroes from Admin (for being "their Hero" giving them minimal downtime despite huge server changeovers happening in the middle of the term, not my bright idea I might add!!!!)

 

a big box of Roses chocs,

 

a cookie & a cake (made by the pupils)

 

and this rather festive calendar made by a couple of Year 2 pupils from Puffins class!

1 bottle of wine for each of us in Network Support and 1 tub of Celebrations. Edited December 16, 2010 by 6Foot2
Correct spelling mistake.

Lol, ftr I'm not but I am seriously thinking of going to Qatar dressed up as Julian Clary in a mankini to see what sort of reception I get.....

1 bottle of wine for each of us in Network Support and 1 tun of Celebrations.

 

An entire ton?! You'll still be eating those next year!

Oops. I originally put 'tin' in here and was in the process of changing it to 'tub' when I was interrupted. I then posted the comment only partly corrected.

[Tyiell]

Still though, maybe they should sell a 1-ton case of chocs. I'd buy them!!!

 

Saying that, then there'd be several hundred kilos of Bountys left at the end (I hate Bountys!!)

I'd quite happily take those off your hands!

Fair enough, if we get a tin of Celebrations (so far we've had some M&S chocs and a tin of Roses) I'll send you up all the Bountys!!!!

[plexer]

Nothing as I've been off sick all week.

Yep, I'd have to agree with you there - I hate them too.

 

And we must be right because even my two year old won't eat them, and she will normally eat any chocolate she can lay her hands on!

[john]

We are doing quite well in IT support, must be up to about 30 cards between us, big tin of roses, some hand made mince pies (which were yummy!), some nice biscuits, chocolates of various forms, few bottles of wine, an offer of lunch at BETT from one and many merry Christmas e-mails.

 

All this despite me forcing Windows 7 and Office 2010 on them creating chaos during summer and the start of term, print management to reduce costs, no new laptops and most old ones have been left as XP stand alone thus fairly useless to them and many not getting new PCs in offices / rooms that are not used that often.

 

They must like us really with that generosity (or as someone has just said to me on messenger, they are doing it to try and butter me up for something, to give me bad news or to hope I won't do it again!!)

can i have a job? lol

[john]

Unfortunately we're cutting staffing due to budget issues and a local education review so a recruitment freeze is in operation

 

Should add the lunch at BETT is from a long standing supplier not a member of staff.

it was a joke! i have just had a nice promo!!

 

We managed to get a box of quality streets and 4 mugs out of our supplier a couple of cards and then lots of random stuff that the nice lady in admin brought us in when we asked her to stop on her way in (starts at 930 and we start at 8!) to get us some milk as we ran out!!

[tommej]

We've had a plate of homemade muffins, a box of cakes from asda, a box of ferroro rocher, a box of quality street and a tin of roses. All from staff too!

[Chris_]

We've not had nice boxes of chocolates or biscuits . I've had 4 cards (3 from the IT teachers) and a gift from the IT subject leader. And I got a muffin from one department. Was rather depressing going in the staffroom today.

Eurgh, there's always bounty leftover in our office!! Someone usually takes the dive and polishes them off. Not me though!
