three weeks in a school has turned me into a slob of lazy jelly...

who can blame me? school is a land of haven as compared to hq... things are much slower here, pple more friendly, u see kids everyday, lesser responsibility, and best of all, shorter working hours!! each morning i turn up at any time without anyone breathing down my neck, i can leave at 4+, 5pm (and most pple are already gone by then!), my coordinator always nag at me to go home earlier, my colleagues are wonderful, i spend time playing playdoh with children...

the only downside is, it's gonna make my return to hq so, so much harder. and it starts tmr. gawd.

4 meetings tmr. 3 packed at the same time in the morning, all different projects, all big, and all of which my various team leaders have requested me to attend. one is at Simei. i'm so screwed. can i split myself into 3? best of all, i haven't been able to check my work email so i still dunno what's really going on till i switch on the comp tmr and wait to face the music.

the one meeting in the afternoon is a new project. i'm on a team to plan for our workplan. briefing to plan for a plan. great. another project i wish i never had on my plate, ever. really can't wait to hear about my new, additional roles. sheesh.

and not to mention the countless reports, cases, emails, and i really can't rem what other work sitting on my plate. and come august i'm gonna take over some schools... i haven't had time to prepare for that yet another-huge-role. haven't brush up on all my consultation skills, read up on all the things i'd need to feed the schools, prepare for all the qns schools will ever ask me for advice..

my fingers are really shivering at the mere thought of what's coming ahead.

haven't blogged about my attachment.. it has been great, as a breather away from hq and more. fri's my last day.. and i'm already gonna miss my colleagues, the kids whom i've met and interacted with.. i'll always wonder how they'll be hereafter.

sometimes i wonder, being so far away from them in hq, we're doing all these big things in a bid to impact on kids and improve their situation... but really, sometimes all they need, is to have a person who understands who they are, a person who can give them that bit of warmth and spend a little time to play with them, talk to them, see them for who they are.
