It's totally mad isn't it? I am currently doing my Assistant Head job, Head of Sixth Form and Sendco. 
It's totally killing me! We lost our Head of Sixth before the summer and our Sendco about 6 weeks ago. Both suspended and then resigned.
Most days, although I'm flat out, I just about cope mentally.... but I have had a couple of very near mini breakdowns 
And if anything extra comes my way (as it has done this week), I get to the point where people approach me at their own risk 
The Head is aware that I'm on the edge and is very sympathetic, so things will change eventually. We're just waiting for some of the legal implications of the Sendco suspension/resignation to work themselves out, then we can advertise for someone to save my life.

Awww Ducky 
Hope they sort it for you soon
The most frustrating part about it is having 3 other members of SLT who still toddle along with nothing extra added to their workload, who then think it's appropriate to share their job with me.
Anyway, I'm not supposed to be moaning! I'm supposed to be working! Oops!
I'd better go, or may never shut up 
Night Bazzy and Rosser Have a good Thursday!

Its actually been quite nice here. No rain early morning or afternoon though it is now

Bazzy, I hope you're feeling better now 
Not sure about the red and blue highlights
