I think that there may be a problem, but I do not know how to resolve it.  Having taken on this contract on the understanding that I can do the teaching hours but not long days. I have long days.  I teach at 9.35 for instance most days, except Fridays. when I am free so might catch up with myself, but the rest of the time I have what to me is an early start, now that I have to work till 4.50 in the afternoon.

When I started at Tesco I used to come home on Saturday crash out until the morning and then go back to work. It used to take me forty minutes to walk to work and then I had to catch the bus back.  By the end, I walked there and back, had to as the bus had stopped running,  in less than 30 minutes each way,  but today having worked for two long days in a row, I feel like XXXX  so not a happy bunny. When I broke my glasses, I contacted the insurance company to see whether they would meet the costs, I am still awaiting their reply, I have contacted them three or four times, so I just tried ringing them on skype, but it is an 0844 number and from Skype's point of view that is an emergency number.  So I cannot even speak with them easily.  I am really not sure what to do.  I feel I fully informed my employers before taking on the job, but that does not seem to have been communicated on the ground.  God willing it will get easier a lot easier.  But this was not what I wanted.

I know everyone else at the school works longer and harder, though, so it is tricky. Anyway I suppose I will have to cope. I am not having to shop, or cook, or clean and in truth that should help and perhaps if I can sleep unlike last night I will begin to adjust.   In the end if I can manage 8 hour days without collapsing it will be a good thing.  But right now like I said, not a happy bunny.
