Has anyone ever told you that you assign too much work? No? Can I do the honours?
As the years wear on, I find that I enjoy school less and less. But don't worry, this is not going to be your typical long whiny post about how school sucks. There are a million blogposts out there being written by schoolkids about how school sucks, and seriously, the world needs another of those like how much they need another long whiny article from Sumiko Tan in the Sunday Times.
To Miss Tan: Honestly, make up your mind. If you want to get married, do it. If you don't want to, then stop whining about it. I'm still trying to figure out if your column is supposed to be filed under "humour" or "advertorials", but you aren't very funny and advertising certainly isn't working in your case.
The thing about my tutors is, when they assign work, its always with the implicit assumption that their work is the only thing we have to do over the weekend. However, when work is assigned, it is added to the end of the list of things I already have to do, namely watching videos, surfing forums, chatting online, going out etc. As you can see, I'm really busy. I don't even have enough time to read the newspaper, because people only read that when they have nothing better to do.
Somewhere at the end of that list, work comes in. But even before I start on work, I have to do a series of warm up exercises. I need to stretch the 5 fingers on my left hand, twirl the pinky on my right, touch my big toes together, and start chanting out multiplication tables to the tune of Boyzone's "You needed me". No, I'm really bullshitting.
It's really amazing how everyone is talking about Stephen Gately now like someone important just died, because before he did, all I knew about Boyzone was Ronan Keating. I really wonder what he would have to say about that, but like the song goes, its a case of "you say it best, when you say nothing at all" If he had something to say at this point, I daresay it'd be even bigger news. Until Ris Low opens her mouth again that is.
Anyway, there's a bug that has been skittering around my table and I'm still deliberating if I should squash it with a tube of rolled up paper but the only paper in sight is my SPH contract. I could do it as a creative statement to protest against my plight of being squeezed by SPH to accept their lousy offer but I don't think HR would take kindly to that, because they aren't big on ironies, and honestly, the bug could be bigger.
It shouldn't be too small, otherwise it would escape the attention of their myopic staff, which would defeat the point of me making a creative statement.
I'm really whining about school here. Any references to SPH and its products are purely coincidental.
