| June 8th, 2000 happiness quotient: 8.7 Well, like I mentioned, I was really dreading my second job yesterday. As I headed to the university I kept asking myself if I should go and continue being a great, dependable employee or if I should skip it and be irresponsible and heartless, leaving my kind and warm Korean team teacher dangling without a native speaker. I met my roommate on the street and discussed it with him. He didn't really help me make my decision but he did agree to go to the bar with me and have a few beers so I could forget what a worthless coward I am. That's what I did and while I feel horrible today and can't answer my phone for fear it will be them, Charles and I had a great time and I forgot all of my problems in one pitcher flat. Today was a good day at work--my kids were cute and we had fun. The afternoon even passed quickly, which is really saying something. On a low note, my boss started crying when she told us that there absolutely is not an audio system in the staff room....."we're not spies and we're not paranoid". I laughed when she said it but as I've mentioned, she is a bit lacking in the sense of humor department and that's when she started to cry. I felt bad. The "audio in staff room" is a rumor (which I can't say I didn't have some part in starting)that's been circulating at work for a few weeks now and spying and paranoia are two things I definitely considered part of the management at my school. I can't decide if I should stop believing it completely or not. It's risky. Anyway, I'm not looking forward to our Monday night meeting. We're going to "discuss it" then. I don't have any great plans for the weekend and I'm looking forward to it. |
