Hate half-term, a grumpy rant!

Hope

I know most kids love it and deserve a break, but as an adult I hate half term. Kids everywhere with their high-pitched shrill voices, crowds of people up town, making every day feel like Saturday. Get the kids back to school, I moan, then I can have my quietude back. Anyone else feel like this?

  • At least commuting is a lot easier during half term :).

    I'm not overly keen on kids either, but I was a (probably very annoying) kid myself so I try to just ignore it when they're just being kids.

    It does feel like a bit of a drag at times like this when so many people are off work though.  It means there are fewer distractions, but work is basically all of my social interaction so when the office is like a ghost ship I can end up rather lonely.
