In my props team, there’s a variety of different sections in the team. I’ve only really been doing one part and as a trainee I want to explore and try/learn other things. How do I say to my head of department that I want to do this as he always seems to busy and there never seems to be the best time?

There never will be a best time when everyone is busy. If it's important to you, you just need to force the issue. Tell them that you'd like to set a meeting to discuss your role and ask for his availability in the coming weeks. No matter how busy he may appear, I promise you there is at least one 30 minute available window on his calendar. Get the meeting, explain your desires and see if there's a reasonable path forward for you to try other things.

Yes that’s a good point, I always feel that I don’t want to be a burden but this is what I have to do!

I think you just need to keep asking, in my experience everyone is always “busy” and quite often people will forget you asked, just need to be persistent!

Yes that’s true, I need to be persistent!

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
