Partner is a teacher in a deprived area and parents have physically engaged with teachers on more than one occasion.

But even in my job which has a publicly known phone number people are finding it perfectly reasonable to shout down the phone despite nothing having gone wrong with their process.

People are getting more aggressive and it’ll be a mixture of things. Partially cos everything is fucked, but also, certainly in my case, things like Amazon have changed people’s expectations. They get something the next day, if they don’t like it they get a voucher no questions asked, or if they want they can scam the system.

Works fine for Amazon, doesn’t work fine of you try to force that business model onto already stretched public services. If they’re told their kid isn’t behaving or performing they’ll go on the attack and act like a shitty customer rather than a parent.

It was Blackpool Zoo! Just to finish off our little holiday

Going to the zoo today. So should be a pretty good one!

I got a quick recording job in this week, so I’m a few pounds richer and it’s a rare quiet week at work (so far)!

That’s a real win. My neighbour put my bin out for me, feeling lucky!

I work in a very office based environment, so I’d actually love to give that a try to see if they’d click!

After our mini heat wave I think we’re going to start getting a bit Autumnal already haha.

Hope the heat stays, got a week in Blackpool coming up in August and I don’t fancy it being drizzly haha

I hope its an alright easing in back to work. Annoying that you have to get back to it before surgery though!

Normal week for me. Nothing special, got some work experience kids in this afternoon so will see how that goes.

Luckily it’s quite sunny here so can keep justifying shorts to the office!
