Mode: Factory Worker

The day's Thursday. For another 35 minutes, that is. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday gave me the slip rather easily.

Monday (7am-5pm) : Meeting with regards to an overhaul of the rubrics in future report cards. These newly holistic report cards will replace the current ones with immediate effect. While the former report cards normally took 2 weeks to consolidate the required data, the new ones require up to 4-5 weeks of vigorous keyboard activity.

Tuesday (7am - 7pm): National Day Organising Committee Meeting till 4pm. Proceeded with tuition till 7pm.

Wednesday ( 7am - 5.30pm): Briefing for PSLE Oral Examiners at Toa Payoh HDB Hub from 3 to 5.30pm. This is the third year I'm appointed to be an Oral Examiner. (Read: While the other teachers enjoy holidays totalling 4 days during the P6 Prelim & PSLE respectively, I'd be listening to dreary drones. Mental Note: Bring on the tea!) Comfort came in the form of a Cookie Summit at Swensen's prior to the briefing. Contact Time ended earlier than expected and we had an hour to spare. The waitress screwed up our orders and soup was on the house as compensation.

Thursday (7am - 5.15pm): Timetable was packed to the brim. I was interrupted barely 5 minutes into recess by the last minute "URGENT" request to vet the CA2 Paper on the spot. Final vetting will be done after school on Friday. I'm rather peeved at being either the vetter or setter for every single English exam since 2003. Allocated duty for the P1 Registration Exercise (Phase 2B). I absolutely dread my annual job at the computer terminal, keying in relevant data, namely due to the sole responsibility to be shouldered if anything went awry. This stressful period ended at 4.30pm. Tied up some loose ends at work before leaving at 5.15pm.

Friday (7am - 10pm): CCA to be carried out. Following that, an unprecedented Meet-the-Parents session is to be be held from 7pm-9.30pm. (expected extension till 10pm) I foresee increased sightings of zombies within that witching time frame.


Total Number of hours slept so far (ie. Monday, Tues, Wed): 9 hours
Total Number of cups of tea downed so far (mon-thurs) : 16
