[Mafro]

Ha, loving that music.

[Betti911]

Am so glad I don't have any more exams to do I'm too old to be a student.

Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life

Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away

In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you love it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet

[Betti911]

Yup I remember that song came on in the disco on my last night out on a worknight before I started my traineeship and I cried.

[Lucie]

Excess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy WEEPS

[Betti911]

Thanks for the sympathy

[Sidders]

I work 10-3.30 so ha.

[Betti911]

You must be a teacher or work in a school of somekind. I should have become a teacher. I'd sort the neds out.

[Sidders]

Yes, well done Sherlock.

[Walter Sobchak]

I work from 7am to 3pm but the Teachers work from 8.30 till 5,

[Quincy]

when i worked in a school i worked 7.30 until 4. im so wacky

[Eddie]

I certainly don't just work 8.30pm til 5 and I'm a teacher. It's More 8am - 7.30pm. If I'm lucky I'll get a break for dinner in the evening. I certainly never get a lunch break or any other sort of break during the day.

[Sidders]

Hmm, never knew Eddie was a teacher. I'm actually considering doing a PGCE when my contract expires next year if they decide I'm not needed anymore.

[Eddie]

don't bother. really, don't.

And where have you been Sidla. It's been commonn knowledge that I'm a teacher for ages now. I did a PGCE 1n 2002

[Sidders]

Don't have a memory that far back. Is it really that bad? I think the ICT teacher has an easy job, he only has to do 2 different lessons a week.

[Adam]

Do a masters instead. Loads of fun....

[Betti911]

Teaching certainly lets you have a better quality of life than some of the other professions. Law I would say is the worst profession both for pay, for client appreciation and most importantly holidays.

[Mafro]

You'd have to put up with little chavs though.

[Betti911]

Am sure there are some well behaved chavs tho who go to school... poor posh and becks types.

I only see chavs when they are in trouble with the pigs.

[Mafro]

There was a mega-chav on my bus earlier. He had it all, the gold chain, Rockports, bleched hair, tracksuit bottoms and the Burberry hat at a 45 dergee angle.

[Betti911]

His brother who lives in Glasgow is prob coming into see me this afternoon

Do you think there has always been chavs? I can't remember noticing them when I was wee.

[Mafro]

Nah, I think they only emerged in recent years.

[Quincy]

mega-chav?

[Mafro]

Exactly.
