And they say this subject has excess national headcount. And your SO's school in a different zone genuinely has excess teachers; they teach only 3 classes and they get home a few hours before you every single day.

Oh, and.. you're the SH who became HOD.

I, too, want to teach in a well-staffed and well-endowed IP school/high SES school/brand name school. But not everyone gets that privilege. I like to think my time management is alright, and I am fairly competent (not the best, but good enough) at what I do. I feel a bit insulted when you insinuate that people working 80 hours brought it upon themselves.
