tai-long teacher
Thursday, October 07, 2004
If u ask me whats one of d next likely professions a teacher may consider as a career change, i'ld say: a tai-long. uhuh. ah-long. u noe, d one dat goes ard taunting $ from people. coz i sure feel like one right now. u noe how these kids love 2 supposedly have a sense of unity from creating their own unique t-shirts for CCA? Well, dats wat my eldds did exctly. n i didn't have any objections just dat i said dat since ey want it, i want them 2b responsible for it n take cahrge of d thing. take charge they did (almost) being responsible for it they didn't.i saw through d designining process n squabbles, liased with d man n at last let a student handle d rest of d matter. n wen i tot i've heard d last of it, d man calls me n says that we stil owe him $300+ even after d t-shirt has been delivered mths back.he's been trying to get my studnt but my student avoids his calls.so, i personally took charge of dis matter, took d list of names of students who have not paid n ran after each of d students, going class to class threatening dat if i don get d money by tmr mrng, they'll get hell from me on mon. n den i realised, (after blabbering all my frustrations out to salha) i sounded like an ah-long threatening to hang a pig's head and splashing the debtor's house door with pig blood.grrr... i guess these are some skills u pick up along with d profession.n wat's worse, after looking at d list, i realised dat those who have not paid up wld only account 4 abt $175 of d money we owe d man. dis means there is a surplus of $100+ unpaid n missing. dat student of mine who took charge (i will not mention names) is gonna get hell.oh yah he will. just he wait. i'm just so tempted to get a red can of spray paint, go over to his place n spray d walls with an ah-longs signage "OWE MONEY PAY MONEY!"
N on top of dat, i'll be embarking on another ah-long adventure as i have just found out dat my sec 2H has at least 15 library books missing from their class library n dis wld come up to abt $300 or more wic all of them will have to share d cost n pay.
So tell me now, isn't teaching d most well-rounded job?
