too bored...

Boredom's chewing me to bits...i'm freakin' bored BOred BORED!


ARGHHHHH!


What the hell was i thinking last year after spm? *i actually looked forward to doing nothing for half a year then...what a goddam fool*


Yea, i taught in a kindergarten (no, i didn't teach, i was unqualified to teach kids singing all TOO CHEERFUL songs and colouring drawings of fruits -.-) And i successfully went through hell for 5 days. FIVE DAYS, which were about 18x lesser than the days i'm supposed to work for. Or more like the days they would need me before chucking me.


Nobody can comment about the duration that i'd worked for.

If you were meagerly paid with 450 buck a month INCLUDING over time (what the hell, i only agreed on helping out during the morning session, not the daycare session as well which ends at 6.30 pm EVERYDAY) you know right away you gotta STOP this job. Comparatively, if i were to work till 6.30pm, the decent amount ought to be at least 600 +.


I mean, i should have been paid more for the extra hours helping kids to bathe and then feed them while they fidget indifferently. OR better still, RELEASE me once my work's done.


I hate that expression they gave me everytime i stood at one corner, all ready to go home. If i'd guessed correctly, it should convey something like "WTH, why are you standing there? We hire you to deal with these bloody hyperactive kids coz we sucked so much that we can't manage them ourselves. We don't give a bloody damn even though we know you're underpaid. Wanna blame someone? Blame yourself for being a complete noob in this kindergarten thingie and just to let you know, YES, we love to push the dirty job to you because it's about time you all-too-excited-noob taste what we've been through before finally being able to give you the hell we had."


I'd rather think that THAT came from the fat lady who warned kids not to BULLY ME. wtf? She made me so feeble and useless among the kids. And she wouldn't admit that the kids LOVE me better than her, that's why they behaved mischievously whenever i'm around. I'm not as rigid as that scary-looking fat ass who roars after all :D


And because i was a teacher's assistant and i'm supposed to do nothing but to assist in whatever i should be assisting in, that bitch made full use of my presence drying the wet spots on the floor, fetching stuff for her, tending to kids with undesirable actions AND saving the best parts for herself e.g eating the kid's food.


REALLY, she convinced the kid that she would help him unseal the packet of junk food, and AFTER doing so, she ate some of it right in front of the helplessly looking kid, with the most righteous look, like WHAT? I OPENED FOR YOU WHAT. AND TOO MUCH JUNK'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. Like it's any better for your fat ass.


Okay, i particularly despised that fat lady. Others were tolerable. Even that lady who served food was kind and friendly to me :)

The supervisor was really nice too (she was the one who made my job application successful. Job application indeed.) She was really understanding when I told her sheepishly that i wanna quit on the 5th day itself. My initial excuse was lame- i'd driving lessons to attend in the morning twice a week.

I appreciate the fact that she actually appreciated my help throughout the 5 days. She tried her best, i repeat, tried HER BEST to alter my working hours to 3 days a week instead of 5 (any days i claimed to have no lessons) WITH the same pay simply to suit to my convenience. How thoughtful! I felt guilty for causing all the troubles that inadvertently troubled her.


If the fat lady was the supervisor, i wouldn't even get past through the kindergarten gate, let alone getting the job.


As we discussed even more (with my real supervisor lah of course), i unconsciously revealed that the whole kindergarten environment was the real reason for my resignation. I confessed that YEA, I SUCK AT HANDLING KIDS. THEY'RE REALLY CUTE WHEN IT'S PLAYTIME, BUT THEY'RE TERRIBLE MONSTERS MOST OF THE TIME. I didn't say so matter-of-factly, but everthing was well hinted :D


My lovely supervisor kinda comforted (i felt comforted at least) , saying how dealing with kids is all about patience and experience. She totally understood how i'm not used to handling kids, 3-4 years old kids mind you. I couldn't agree more. But then again, i'm no expert myself in taking care of myself , let alone other individuals. (i'm not useless, just being frank :P)


So after having her finally convinced that i'm the least suitable person to take up the assistant job and that she should just let me go instead of allowing me to create more problems, we bade farewell and i silently swore to myself that i won't simply go looking for temporary jobs from now on-i hate to be a nuisance giving false hopes to myself and others :)


All the kids were asleep when i left. I really missed them then, but no so much now. what do you expect, i came in like an alien (the first day was full of curious faces) and left like a thief (as in, no announcement was made *and no mess was left behind too*..and i doubt the kids would understand even if one was really made anyway)


i kinda missed the teachers there too all except one. Yeap, the humongous bitch who takes pleasure in stealing food from innocent kids :D




Because boredom's really murdering me, i've decided to share this :)
