When I arrived at work (school), my classroom was occupied by exam writers. Had to take the old physics classroom where they next to never use computers. That became obvious when I tried to put on a dvd. The Mac-converter was missing so I had run looking for one. Then the remote control for the projector was missing too. Had to climb up on a table to manually turn it on. The screen didn't want to stay rolled down without a little violence. Then my computer refused to read the dvd. A bought official dvd, not a burned illegal copy. But the laptop refused it. So I figured I try streaming instead. At least that worked! But to no use....... The lights in the classroom refused to turn off no matter how we tried to push the buttons - and the room lacked drapes or curtains. No one could see much of anything on the screen because it was much too bright in the classroom. By that time, more than half our time had passed, so I let the kids go.Then as I was going to put things away, the screen refused to go up again. Once again, I had to use violence on it.Then I got a text message from my collaegue saying she was home sick today. We were finally gonna sit down together and go through our pupils' work today. I had even given my other class today's lesson off so that I had time to sit down with her. Now, to absolutely no use.So I went home for a while until next class. When I got back, I realized that I had been mistaken of what time my class would be on a lecture on racism at another school. They had already left. So I had to hurry over there, arriving right in the middle of the lecture. But as I was mostly just there to check if all my students were there, it was ok to turn up late. Embarrassing, but no harm done.As we walked back to our school, 3 pupils asked if they had to go to their next class that started at 2. As the clock had already passed 2, I figured it was too late. I told them that they didn't have to. They left to go home. Then I realized that their other teacher might have known they were gonna begin a little later today - and that I had no authority to tell the pupils that they could go home. Ooops!On top of that - I have period cramps today.The last straw was reached. I am not gonna do one more thing today!!!! Lord knows what else can go wrong.</blockquote>
