Work No. 2

A tug-of-war between 2 sales execs in my office currently.
I do think their job is tough.
Or any sales/pitching job is tough.
The chasing for the commissions, the endless back-stabbing, the bootlicking of clients, just the PR-ing is overkill for me.
They are sqaubbling over a client whom both claim as theirs.
Man, tis gonna be a long drawn-out fight.

On another note, have i talked abt my students?
Dunno if I'd mentioned this before, but i'm now teaching at a study centre at Bugis.
Teaching Sec 4 English to a small class, since April/May.
It really is great fun.

I used to hate giving tuition, despite the easy cash.
So I never thought classroom teaching can be so fun and engaging.
Also, compared to tuition, time flies in the class.
And the kids are also less bored, laugh more, and more engaged.

It's really fun, and it's a shame i gotta stop for maternity.
I'll miss them for sure.
And i do prepare for each class, with handouts and assignments.
It may sound tiring, but even the preparation work is enjoyable.
The kids are not so young nor too aloof/cool...so its a great age to relate to.
They remind me of our school days and make me feel refreshed and younger.

Just finished a class today, and was just thinking, i'll be sad to leave them in August.
We discussed how to avoid feeling sleepy today...and they said in unison - "Eat!"
So next week, i'll bring in some snacks for them for tea-break.

Oh no, am i turning into a... teacher?
