Our government, in its eternal wisdom, decided this year that we lazy, useless teachers have to spend 32 hours a week at school, whether we have to give any actual lessons or not. The most stupid part of it is that we have one teachers' room, in which, thanks to the new regulations, there are now at least 8-10 people all the time. So, preparing yourself for your next lessons is out of the question, and correcting tests also isn't easy - it's never properly quiet for any actual work.

In exchange, we no longer get any paid overtime (which used to be an important part of our income), since we already have to be there in case someone falls out. So, financially we're all worse off, but at least we can waste hours at work and still have to do the preparation and corrections at home, where we can concentrate.
