In my previous post in here before I stopped blogging for a loooong time, I wrote about my feelings for my first job. I wrote about how I love the workplace etc etc. And today, I am writing again to say that I will be officially out of that place in 2 weeks time.

Yes, everything was rosy initially. Ok, not really. Cos on my first day there, my P made it very clear to me that she disliked me. She made me do all the nonsensical tasks such as wrapping of the children's storybooks, typing out the centre's portfolio all on my first day. I didn't think too much of it then cos I thought, "Ok, I should be modest and just do it right?" But boy! Was I wrong! Everything just went downhill from then on. Here's just some of the worst moments I had there.

Incident 1

After my graduation ceremony which was like in mid June last year, I presented her my degree certificate for record purposes.

P: "What's this?"
Me: "My degree cert."
P: "Oh.. Early Childhood or degree lain?"
Me: "Early Childhood lah."
P: "You give me for what?"

In my heart, "Why you so stupid ah? Basket!"

Incident 2

I had already tendered and I had an interview to attend in the evening on one particular day so I asked her.

Me: "Mdm, I want to take time off today. Can I leave at about 3+?"
P: "For what?"
Me: "For some personal stuffs I need to settle."
P: "No, cannot. If you leave, I'm going to cut your half day salary."
Me: "Half day even though I leave just 2 hours earlier? I might as well go home at 12!"

In my heart, "Oh wow! Such double standard! The other teachers can leave at 1 or 2 without getting a pay cut!"

Actually there's just too many incidents for me to pen down here. But I think I've made the right choice to leave the place cos I am no longer happy there. But of course, I had my joyful moments there too.

1) I have awesome colleagues. Ok, except for 1 or 2 losers. But yeah, my colleagues are great. We bond a lot over that pathetic 1 hour lunch (sometimes less) and I will miss them dearly.

2) I have done up my classroom so beautifully last December with the help of Yusri. And it is actually quite sad to bring down most of the things which we had painstakingly cut, pasted, laminated, painted, hanged.

3) I will miss the children whom I taught last year. Not the ones I am currently teaching cos I have a bunch of monkeys and donkeys this year.

Anyway, after weighing all the pros and cons of this workplace, I know that it is best to leave now then later cos the longer I stay there, the harder it would be to leave. So, sayonara ***! It was good while it lasted.
