IT Dept forgotten again

Just had a very surreal moment in the staff room, gifts are handed out to support staff and departments, which is all very nice, especially as we work an extra 10 weeks of the year compared to teachers......

Anyway, first up for a gift were the office staff, claps all round

Next, the finance office, sure they don't get thanked much for there work, claps all round

Next, each member of the maintenance staff got a bottle, about 5 of them, no problem

Then, the girl in reprographics, stressy job that I wouldn't do!

Then, another lady who does a bit of everything around the school, reports, H+S, reprographics etc. So she gets a gift

Next, head of the cleaning staff, who also does a tough job all year round.

That was it

So, here's the three of us from the IT Dept, suddenly feeling a bit awkward, the only dept not to even get a mention.

Surely it should be all or nothing, I don't expect thanks or gifts from anyone for the job I do. But I don't expect to be singled out from every other dept in the school.
