Summer School Work
It was the first day of summer school today and I woke up with excitement and anxiety of not knowing what to expect at work. As I was getting ready I wonder why I felt extremely good this morning. Well, one thing for sure was that I was actually relief that I could take a break from teaching for 2 months and actually do office job that I have been longing to go back to since college days! I reached school at 7am not knowing they had morning worship at 6:50am and headed straight to the office only to be welcomed by a box of Chinese books that has newly arrived from China (clever, we pay US money in the US and they ship books with low quality from China!). So the first thing I actually got my hands on to was inventory. Later, I went to my supposedly "boss" and ask if I came to the right place and he said yes BUT...he has no work for me the whole summer!!! Ahh..I was about to have the kind of feeling where you say "okay, so what's next?" or "what???" but he quickly did a quick assignment and asked me to work at the front desk helping the receptionists. Wow! That seat over there was definitely a hot one and no one was approved on their application and suddenly I came along without applying for the job and now was able to enjoy that hot seat for a month period?? At the end of the day today, I sat at one of the school's gazebos and reflected on what I did at work today...Hey, I thought I actually enjoyed work! Now, if only I could speak more Thai....
