Staff absences have had me stretched this week - at times I've been doing three people's jobs and after two weeks away from routines it takes a while for students to adjust to school life again.
All very testing.
Marcus Aurelius always seems to have the perfect advice:
Keep this thought handy when you feel a bit of rage coming on – it isn't manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real person doesn't give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance – unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.
