Today is a very efficient day.
BECOS THE BOSS IS NOT IN FRONT OF HER COMPUTER bombing people with emails.
And so...I was left in peace to finally do my official job. Lesson planning.
All goes well...until she step into the office at around 4pm.
Meeting starts...
Nightmare begins.

WHY AM I HERE DOING THIS??!!!
First thing in the morning...I turn on the computer and search for a resignation template...YES...I want to quit..or at least getting ready.
Today, I spent the whole day...doing things I hate the most in my life.
I spent more than 7 hours sitting in front of the computer trying to figure out how to run EXCEL...I was told to do logistic for the saturday assignment I got.
WHY AM I SITTING HERE DOING THIS?..
I ask myself.
I know there are millions of people doing this everyday...
and they will probably laugh at me...for not knowing how to operate EXCEL program....
The reason why I choose to do art, other than passsion...is also because I do not want to spend my life doing a 9 to 5....doing admin work.
Not that it is something wrong...but it is something that will bring me to tears...and makes me feel miserable from head to toe.
And here I am...hired as an art teacher...BUT SPEND MY WHOLE DAY....doing this. Bearing in mind I still have loads of lesson plans and other stuff to complete.
WHY AM I HERE DOING THIS??!!!
I was pulling my hair...and freaking out ...
After endless fruitless communication online emailing her to and fro...
It was to my greatest embarrassment to finally find out...it was my fault that I do not understand her instruction...
YES. MY FAULT FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO RUN EXCEL.
And so...the resignation template I found online earlier in the day...was saved and carefully hidden in my thumb drive....
TODAY IS NOT THE RIGHT DAY.
There will be.

Sunday...
Today was my lovely off day.
I was warned by my colleague not to check my emails in case it spoils my off day mood...
I should have listen to her advice.
Too late.

This is only the third day...
I was really pleased by the fact that I do not hold the office key.
Therefore, I was excused for the morning to work...as no one is in the office.I was told to report work at 2pm.
HAppy, I set my alarm to 9.30am the day before.
That was the time I was suppose to report work usually.
But today...I can sleep until 9.30am.
Feeling please...
I really slept well.
9.30am.
My mobile starts to make noise.
I switch it off...thinking it was my alarm...
2 seconds later, it started to make noise again...
Sensing something not right...SHIT!!!>>I jump off my bed...and realise...THAT WAS MY PHONE RINGING!!! AND NOT MY ALARM....(becos I set different tone for incoming calls and alarm.)
It was my boss.
9.30am...exactly.
She probably has been waiting for the clock to struck 9.30am to call me.
First thing in the morning...and I am pissed.
I was told to sit-in a painting class and do logistic for the class....
Blah blah....
Life...
While you think you can get away for the day and skive...
The BOSS IS THERE...WATCHING!

I wonder how many emails my boss sent out in a day...
Ahh...I am so sure the 2nd day will be better..after a good night sleep.
But but...
I wonder how many emails my boss sent out in a day...
My mailbox is flooded with her emails....to give a rough figure...
I receive more than 25 emails at the end of the day from her...
And as far as I know...this happens to all the rest of my 7 colleagues..
So what's new today? My boss propose to start a painting class and I will start this lesson this Thursday...,, interesting??..NO...I still haven't finish my lesson plan and now I have a new class to run...
The only happy thing today was the completion of ONE lesson plan...
this is nothing to be proud of...as there is 5 more to go..plus all the unknown from my boss....who know what she will bomb me the next minute...
For the first time in my life, I do not look forward to receive emails.
2nd day ends.
I survive.

Day 1
The first day of work is like being wash away by Tsunami.
Confused, and worse still, the person who is suppose to be "take care " of us...broke her ankle and is on medical leave for the next one week.
Me..and another girl who is as new as me....start to help around doing admin. job and at the same time trying do researches on the lesson plan we are assigned to work on.
And so, I was given task and deadlines to finish up lessons plans by next week and was hint by the boss that MORE will come.
Lunch is with the boss. Quite a generous affair...which I have a bad feeling this is not going to be an easy job...
Phone rings all the time...emails popping up everytime you refresh the page...
That was first day...even before I figure out what was going on...
It ended.
