Phonecalls in the morning are so important to me now. As long as the caller on the other side said Yes! I am all ready to rush down to school X to begin teaching. Yet, my phone has been still for the past 2 weeks. Not a single ringing in the morning that I have been waiting.
Then, the ring came today! At about 7+am! Got me quite excited but my excitement was all dampened by sadness after that,
Caller, "Good Morning, are you Mr. XYZ?" Me, "Yes! Speaking!" Caller, "Will you be able to come down to our school by 8am." Me, "Yes!" (Even though I do not know the time.)
I don't know why but the school decided to switch the topic,
Caller, "Are you registered with the Ministry?" Me, "Yes! But given the provisional approval for the time being." (so honest!) Caller, "Oh, in that case, we don't need you." Caller, "Call us when you have got the full approval. Oh! And we don't need relief teachers everyday." Me, "Thanks! Byebye!"
See! How a ray of hope can become nothing within seconds!
Then, my friend who was supposed to look for a job with me this morning gave me a pleasant surprise.
He has got a job with school Y for a week or so.
The worst thing is that it was recommended by friend B and I thought friend B and I were quite good friends as well. Yet, I did not receive a call from him. Yet, despite him knowing how much I wanted to teach and that I lived nearer, he did not bother to call me.
Maybe friend B thinks that I am lazy, maybe he thinks that I am stupid. But come to think about it, is either this friend or me, well I should feel happy for him that he is able to fulfil his wish as well!
As for me,
Forget it!
Guess what! Friend B also called Friend C to teach at the same school. How wonderful! Trying very hard to psycho myself to feel happy for them.
