Perhaps Ms Willis should start to take personal responsibility - the same personal responsibility the Nats demand from welfare beneficiaries - and RESIGN.

We just can't afford the Nats "prudent fiscal responsibility".

Rsd is such a bitch like that, always seems to hit worse when I am feeling a bit low. I like the online version of you that I know :)

Shower chair I have was supplied by the hospital. When my kids had casts we would wrap the limb in glad wrap. Yay for clean hair.

That sucks, took 10yrs of awful health to get my EDS diagnosis, I also have MCAS which can be problematic too. Add in some adhd and it makes life hard. Keep pushing for diagnosis

Thank you, I feel funny at 48 about puff sleeves and elastic so figured Mum wouldn’t love it.

Names are so much part of our identity, I am white so it’s just laziness but for so many it’s racism along with the entitlement. The worst at it seem to be those who would throw hissy fits if we “disrespected” their names.

The sheer laziness is often born from entitlement too. I have had many try to shorten my name, I will allow D but will not answer to anything else. Teaching I use Whaea D cos Ms big long hyphenated last name is hard for 5yr olds but that’s my choice.

I try to learn names and work them out but I often preface it with “if I say it wrong the person who the name belongs to can call me out”, not the whole damn class.

Except not especially. Katja get Cart-ya, catch-ya, cat-ya. She uses Kit when working in retail cos it’s easier.

My name gets mucked up a lot, people are useless and don’t even try not to be. My name has a mix of Cornish, English and German. My kids only one gets her name right consistently. The rest don’t esp Katja. It’s butchered badly.

Pushing grad teachers through in a year doesn’t really help the situation either. I did a 15 month course and was in no way ready to be a good teacher.

Thanks, Ms L reckoned Ms N would like them.

Yup, they sure will be.
