Came across a teacher's blog

Well basically, the teacher was writing about his schedule from 7.30am up till 5pm, after which he mentions that he has to bring work home to finish up. How he is overwhelmed and doesn't even have time to go to the bank.

This is quite a highly controversial issue actually, teachers feel they are overworked & underpaid. While most teachers can concur with each other on this point, most people of other professions are quite unsympathetic.

A few things for sure.

1) People join teaching to teach, not attend bo liao meetings and do extra-curricular things unrelated to teaching.

2) Many many scripts to read and mark.

3) Put up with unreasonable students & sometimes their parents

4) Long hours...still must bring home work to do....sian

5) Hard to take leave, hard to leave sch during lunch hour to settle personal things.

Of coz, alot of people would point out that they go thru the same things

1) Have to do stupid things like organise company dinner & dance, office parties, occasionally have to do delivery as a dispatch. Basically do things they weren't employed to do.

2) Alot of paper work to go through and boss is never around to get his authorisation for pressing issues.

3) Put up with unreasonable clients, bosses & colleagues.

4) Long hours and still must bring home things to do

5) If got things to do, got MC also must come back. Take leave also hard to get it approved.

So how to compare?? Quite similar actually.

FINALLY...

GOING FOR LASIC..I have dreamed of this moment since the day i started wearing glasses. Want to kiss goodbye to glasses & contacts =)

Well, if it's war you want, then so be it.

I see what you're trying to do, I'm not born yesterday. Your lies tell the story that I can't do it, but you don't want me to do it, you don't want me to know how.

You are a coward. My capabilities are irrelevant, your predjudice will precide over any shred of common sense you are supposed to have.

So don't be too shocked, I'm going to start standing up for myself.

I wanna be cyril!! I wanna be cyril!! I wanna be cyril!!

If I have a son in the future, I am going to name him Cyril!

Mr Takayama, teach me how to produce coins from nowhere!!

Teach me how to throw a card thru a window!!!

FLU

Been down with the flu over the last few days. It has really sapped my energy dry, and my poor dear has had to put up with my moodiness. Heh, thx dear.

Anyway, things are looking up at work. Its like, I haven't been scolded for quite sometime, so it means I've been doing something right.

My magic hobby has burnt a big hole in my pocket, so I've decided to just practise with what I have in the meantime. OHHH I WANNA BE CYRIL TAKAYAMA!!!! I wanna go to macdonalds and pull a burger out of the menu or go to Lacoste and make a real crocodile appear!!! I wanna smash a coin into a beer bottle without damaging the bottle.

OHHHHHHH Plssss mr takayama!!! take me in as your student!!
