33 Going On To 13
Talked with J last night. Got my extension for my course. Summer is on its way which means a little of a break from teaching. Had a mini heart attack because I thought I lost my USB disk. Which should I go into first?
Well, I had asked for an extension a couple of days ago and I got it yesterday. I’m really happy. I asked for a couple more days from Friday which means I should hand it in Sunday evening.
Talked to J a few hours ago. I felt like screaming 15-20 minutes into the conversation. I was so bored. Why aren’t we moving forward? How long do I have to continue talking to him during my precious sleeping time and engage in idle chit-chat? He’s so incredibly boring, despite his other nice qualities. I don’t know what to make of it—us talking every agonizing night. Is he interested in me or what? Let’s get this show on the road!
He had a day off yesterday (Wednesday). I was a little sad because he got together with our friends for dinner at Boston Pizza. (They’re closer to him than they are with me except with the K-man; he’s close with everyone.) I felt a little sad because he was willing to make time for them but can’t figure out a way to find time for me. Also, he didn’t mention the movie he bought about whether he watched it or not and when he’ll let me have it.
I really don’t know. Maybe he’s turned off by that fact that I work so so much to the point where I can’t even go out. At least he has his weekends but I don’t even have that. I think he doesn’t want to get involved with someone who’s a workaholic. He probably thinks it’s impossible to date someone like that.
When I didn’t see my USB in my pencil case, my heart started beating so fast. I thought it was gone for good but I had remembered putting it on my bed the night before along with the remote and other indiscriminate items. I didn’t put everything away before crawling into bed so it go lost in the sea of blankets.
Can I just tell you about one of our staff? She’s the boss’s niece and she is unbelievably childish. She’s about 8 years older than I am but yet has no sense of responsibility. Currently, she’s taking a class at a local college to improve her English and also gain a credit. Now, the sensible thing to do is take advantage of the resources around her and get as much professional help she can from her school while she can get it but that’s not her M.O. Instead, she shoulders off her assignments and reports on us, her co-workers. From a simple paragraph to an entire, essay, she begs us to write it for her. She asks everyone she is comfortable with.
I have no problem helping her but it’s the fact that she doesn’t help herself that really irritates me. She just assumes that someone else will do her work for her. The first time she asked me, I thought she meant she wanted my to provide her with books and resources she could read. But after giving her some resources, I found she actually meant (I couldn’t believe the audacity of this bitch) for me to write the paper for her. Me! The one who she sees has a truckload of student homework to correct every week. The one who’s up till 4 a.m. daily correcting them all. The one who has deadlines every week to produce lessons for an entire organization. I thought I was going to slap her. I outright said no.
I can’t even talk to her sternly about this because she is the boss’s niece after all. I swear, if it weren’t for that, I would have given her a piece of my mind, not just for the stated reason but for her whole careless work ethic which makes my job that much more difficult. She leaves a stack of the extra lessons in some corner and doesn’t have the adult sense, courtesy and responsibility to put them away in their respective binders, or displaces the lessons within the binders, lets my books fall on the shelf and leaves them in shambles, sometimes my files are tampered with. It takes me over an hour to clean up the mess after her. She’s like a child.
I don’t think she has developed fine motor skills at all. She seems to be missing that. That’s too bad.
She’s one of the reasons why I’m more eager to leave this job. I want to take all my resources and my remaining passion for teaching elsewhere.
