Had a rather depressing evening last nite. First I had to stay in slightly over time at work to attend this GES meeting with other companies. Namely "Zenith Corporation", the organizers of GES 2004. During the meeting I kept receiving calls on my cellphone from various numbers that I didn't recognize. I kept rejecting the calls as i thought they were from some friends and since i thought it would be rude to interrupt a meeting. We finished ard 730pm and then i met up with my dad and mom for a doctor's appt. and dinner.
While i was waiting for my turn at the doctor's i received another phone call, and it turned out to be from the office of the Principal of Assumption English Sec School. They apparently tried to reach me earlier in the day and managed to get a hold of my handphone number from my sis. apparently they wanted to hire me as a teacher till the end of the year cuz one of their teachers has left early for maternity leave. I guess i just felt sad that i had to turn down this wonderful opportunity to teach since I already presently have a commitment with EDB. What was worse was that the lady on the phone, the English HOD, i believe, was very nice and even offered me a chance to teach there next year. So i felt even worse when i told her i may already be in the army by then. It made me wonder why the timing of some things just have to be this way. Felt very depressed when i learned that the other phonecalls i received during my earlier meetings in the day were from other schools looking for a teacher as well. I mean EDB is definitely a more prestigious job, and would look better on my CV. But on the other hand I really love to teach. I guess some may find me dumb to think like this, but I guess i just like the chance to interact with people more. Anyway, I have to get back to work. Boss is calling me.
