But even in 4 weeks of prac, in a school with not that many staff... the fact that most teachers are women means a very bitchy staffroom. I think I told you, there was one women there who never spoke to me, ignored me when I said anything... uugh. Since I was just there for prac, I just sat there and smiled at apropriate moments. I had no idea what they had meant about "staying out of staffroom politics" until then. Im scared for you. *protects you*Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-45358696506223620272006-08-24T16:54:38.000+10:002006-08-24T16:54:38.000+10:00Ditto to all your above.

Be nice to the nurses because (like your office ladies) they can make your life hell. They will disappear when you need them, they'll forget to do the blood test you asked and WORST of all, they will make fun of you or speak to you as if you don't know anything IN FRONT OF CLIENTS. There are probably heaps more but now that I'm only working part-time thank goodness I've forgotten it all :)Tasmiyahttp://www.tasmiya.comnoreply@blogger.com
