And I thought I could kill 3 birds with one stone! In the end, I only managed to kill 2 birds only, and the last one escaped! What am I talking about? Hah, school of course!
Today, as mentioned, I was scheduled to follow a trip to a Special Needs School, somewhere in the city. We were supposed to start the trip at 1pm and scheduled back here latest by 430pm. In the mean time, my department head had also scheduled the monthly department meeting today, to start at 350pm and, if like those previously ones, by 5pm, the meeting would be done. The last one, was Power Fun time, the weekly activity which takes place in the school hall. An hour of fun-learning for the students, starting from 230pm right up to 330pm.
Now, among all these three activities, only the last one is on a weekly basis, while the other two are just one time activities, if I am lucky enough. So I was actually quite glad when I learnt that the schedules of the two one time activities clashed with each other. That meant that I just have to attend one in full, while the other half way through. In other words, I just needed to spend a day of extended work, and both would be settled.
Now, imagine my disappointment when I saw a note placed on my shelf, after coming back from the trip, informing that the meeting has been postponed. I could only sigh, really. Suddenly, I lost all mood and push to stay positive again. Postponement only points out that I have to sacrifice another evening to attend that meeting! It's tiring, really, to be awake for over 12 hours straight, to attend to a meeting and discussed things which, in the end, if the outcome is not to what is wanted, might just be vetoed over by the larger hands.
What can I do, though. I am just a little fish trying to stay alive in a very toxic and murky pond!
