Office life

So far, the relieft teaching job at WSSS is the best job I've had. Although the turn out rate for relief teacher is high, I feel that I can last till August.

Some shortcomings of this job include, backache, legache, toothache, stomachache and headache.

You see, if we're not teaching, we're sitting. But thats better than the regular office job. Bcos for a regular office job, if you're not sitting, you're still sitting.

Then here comes the backache part. No matter how i sit, with a cushion or what (ok, i even tried the silly office exercise routine that is on display on the big poster on the staff noticeboard), i still get backaches.

Legache comes from standing in heels. You cant teach in slippers or in a chair.

Toothache comes from eating all the tidbits in the pantry.

Stomachache comes from shouting at the boy sitting in the last row of the classroom.

Headache comes from catching the boy who ran out of the classroom during your last lesson.

On top of all these, this job is good. Cos I get to shout at people. I love it, cos I got a loud voice, enough to rival 40 students in a go.

Then, I get to sit whenever I like. This is really important for me because my last two jobs require me to stand when I'm duty.

Third, I can watch tv when I hav no lessons.

Fourth, I can read newspapers during work.

Fifth, I can read novels during invigilations.

Sixth, I get free Reader's Digest and 星期五周报.

Basically, I have lots of freedom, so I wont resign. I'm quite contented. But I dont enjoy being a teacher either. Takes the life out of you.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
If you're not interested in class, get out.
Just leave your name behind.
Shut up or get out now!

Yes....no.
Sounds totally uncool right? But I have no choice. I dont have enough love to teach la...the classes are all so damn noisy I wonder why they come to school. Make me so touchy. If I'm my student...
