Been a long time

Frustration levels are rising.

Finances have been tight so I have been working on supply in one of the roughest schools in Scotland. This has further motivated me to get the hell out as I am fed up of trying to teach the pupils who are only there because they have to be there by law and do their worst in order to achieve nothing.

Having nailed all the other medical issues into submission the medical advisor decided to question my very slightly elevated blood pressure. Well lookee here, I am skint, working in a dump of a school it figures that my blood pressure is going to be raised. My doctor refuses to refer me as she thinks there is nothing the matter that can't be cured with less caffiene and a change of job. Pity that eejit in London doesn't think that.

I'm off to the nurse in the next few days to have my blood pressure tested again and if I can get three good results in a row I will send that to NZ House and tell them to wind their necks in.
