Sheer Boredom
Exam time, which means teachers have to sit in to make sure all is well and no cheating. My boss is smart, he assigned me Japanese exams; I think he knows I would help if I could. To be honest if he gave me physics, chemistry, math, or engineering, I would be just as useless.
Strict protocol. As I sat there bored out of my mind, I kept hoping someone would pull the fire alarm. That is not covered in the list of exam rules. I guess it would just prolong the misery. My colleagues and I would do same thing, exam on desk and go.
But I could step out on the balcony and have a smoke. I doubt this bunker will ever burn, tho might fall down.

Quite agree with Elisa. :)

Sometimes, a guy from high school would call the director and say there's a bomb somewhere inside the building. Even if you know the one who called is far away from being a terrorist, just a dumb kid with a pimpled face, you have to adjust to a whole protocol for that, you know, and it takes some time...clearly enough to make all of us skip an exam for a day in which we didn't study the lesson. "There's a bomb, you say? yay!" Teachers were the first ones to run away in their fast cars when that happened, like rats with coats and glasses. Sure the students did well, Mr Kev!

The worst as teacher is to pretend to have a watchful eye while the mind is absolutely in an other place. :)

Not that bad. I hope the students did well.
