- The insufferable colleague -
Well, well, well...  It appears that my attempts at wanting to leave the school between 4 to 5pm has so far, remain a mere pipe dream.  Since the start of the new semester, I've been one of the last to go home and this looks certain to continue for a while yet, what with the additional work load that has been dumped on to me.

Today was another supremely long day spent at school.  Other than the day-to-day grind, I also had the misfortune of having to attend a discussion pertaining to the school's Speech Day-cum-50th Anniversary Celebration-cum National Day Celebration-cum the school carnival that will be held on 8th of August 2007.  Eventhough the idea of combining all four events is laudable, the decision to place an inept person as one of the organisers of this mega event is laughable, and mind you, I am being kind here.  He was pompous through out the meeting, asserting his ideas and was oblivious to the fact that they were in reality, totally ridiculous.  One of the darndest things that he suggested was to have a helicopter fly past the school with a banner that reads '50th Anniversary Celebration'!!!  If he had intended that to be a joke, well, it backfired on him because instead of laughing, the few of us who were forced to attend the meeting looked at each other incredulously.  We were totally aghast at his stupidity and wondered for the umpteenth time, how an idiot like him was given the chance to hold a leadership post.  At that juncture, I gave a silent prayer that should I really be given the SH post next year, I will not turn into an ass and that I will remain grounded and sensible and have my department's as well as my colleagues' welfare at heart...
