SURVEYS

oh man. 225 survey forms. 10 questions each. 5 to categorize into YES/NO/NETRAL. 5 to categorize into different responses. and then comes the tallying. urghh.

today, i woke up 2hours late. changed and left the house. and by murphy's law (which has been occuring quite a lot), the new HIHS principal was'nt there. so, had to walk home with 0 completed survey forms. went home, ate laksa and left for work. thank goodness, pam agreed to let me share the spoils of the survey forms, else i had to go find some way to complete 225 survey forms in 3hours. reached work by 1.

saw liyana and pam eating in the cage, and i thought, "oh well, their so relaxed. sure finish already". to my horror, there was a ton of papers left and after i found out to tally the results, i almost died. so tallied tallied and tallied, whilst liyana went out to take photos. she came back, and we fooled around with her camera for a while, before getting back to work.

at 5, i went for the now daily, 1 hour coffee-break with samantha. she says i always think too much. which means i still havent got out of the paranoid mentality i had last year. knock it out of your system bryan!

ate a sanwhich, drank banana spin and headed down. to my horror (again), everything we tallied up was messed up. tessa told us to re-do the whole thing. i really wanted to say i've got to go home, but i looked at pam and liyana; pam was freaking tallying all the time i was slacking today, while liyana looked really drained. and don't ask about wei zhong. i did'nt want to risk him giving attitude. so, i took up the job. and..found it quite fun! hahahah.

so i spent about an hour and half tallying everything. making sure that this total was correct. making the tally idiot-proof. thanks to my music, i was able to survive. passed the stuff to tessa and cleared my table. haha, i feel like a real worker. left the office at 7.45pm.

came home, ate dinner. did'nt go to joan's house as she said she would send me the pic. you look good in the pic joan. (:

just as well, cause it was raining when i planned to leave. and now here, lazing around.

2 things that stood out today.

i wore shorts to work. bertha saw me. she gave me that stare. AGAIN. oh man, i'm so dead.

i felt a great sense of pride after leaving work today. although i stayed so long. and the feeling was good.

which brings me to the next point, of this post, which is getting really long. pam, liyana, wei zhong and me pa-kaed to quit on the 31st of Jan. but after leaving work today i was thinking.

do i want to quit because the job really sucks, or cause i am just running away from the hardships? admittedly, it is a difficult job, but the more difficult the task is, the greater the sense of achivement. i'm thinking, should i stay on? after 31st Jan? i, the one who always de-grades my job till it sounds worse than that of a rubbish collectors. i feel..confused. but theres a tugging in me that tells me to stay. if the sense of achivement i felt today is anything to go by, i might just be the proudest person if i stay on till end february. cause i know i went through something, extra difficult. like dad likes to say, " you give up now, you regret later". ah, when the time comes, i'll make the decision. right now, i'll just do my job well. and keep my table neat. hahaha.

oh well, so concludes this long post. till next time! take care people.
