Work email inbox went from 0 to 60 unread messages 45 minutes after waking up. Spent the first 3 hours replying to emails and putting out small fires.
A third of the emails were from students essentially demanding we change the rules for them because their cases are exceptional (no, they didn't read the instructions and did something wrong and it cost them... literally, they didn't show up to a paid exam so there are at least 22 students who lost 260 euro).
Tomorrow there is a strike at my son's school, and I find out if the person I am replacing comes back. I will update here. If they do, I'll be passing the baton back to them with a big smile.
