You can't really compare working in a school to working in an office so I have no idea what it's like to be a drone in a cubicle. A teacher has a lot more control over what they do in their day, how they choose to present lessons and just when it's appropriate to slack off when you need that bit of a recharge.
Planning for a substitute is often more work than just coming into the school when you are sick. One good thing is that I rarely got real sick after a few years because spending 10 months of the year in the human germ factories that are schools really builds up your immune system.
I found these posters on Super Punch that remind me of those great ones from WWII. Just don't show them to your office manager or it will be seminar time and I understand that those are just as boring and annoying as staff meetings or professional development days are for teachers.

I think these would fit right in at my dept. We're already a jaded bunch doing what we do, and we often fly pirate flags and wear all black to work & scare the senior VP's with our dark attitude. These would match our dept "decor" really well while at the same time not being offensive.
They have a real Soviet feel to them too!
These are AWESOME! Thanks!
And I only spent 1 year teaching HS English, but: "Planning for a substitute is often more work than just coming into the school when you are sick." Never were truer words uttered.
Sarah, I want to work at your office.
I dare not show these to anyone where I work, My co-workers will promptly print them in full colour and post them everywhere. Then they'll get me to design even more of them, educating the staff about the "scent free" environment and recycling procedures.
I think MD and Sarah should enjoy one of those workers switches were one form of worker bee socialism learn from the other hive. I only imagine it's like 'Lord of the Flies' the minute you walk through those doors.
I like the retro design of the posters too - the nannyism makes my ass start to twitch, though.
I briefly worked in a cubicle environment at a defense contractor when I was younger. These would have been right up their alley.
Who would have thought that my peg was too square to fit smoothly into the round holes provided by the hive? :)
Maybe you ass itched because you didn't wash it properly like the nanny state requires you too. And the reason you didn't fit in the hive is because all the guns kept rubbing against the sides of the hexegonal cubicles.
I need bigger pix of those! We are printing those out tomorrow. My Fiance is the IT guy on site so he's all over that last one.
I am glad that they are being passed on. Thanks for letting me know that.
