Life Changing Thoughts And then I've been thinking whether I should get a job or not. My friends are either : all working, busy looking for a decent job, or seriously given up on job attempt #1 and looking for the next company... whilst here I am bumming around on Sundays - Wednesday and then looking thoroughly confused at a piece of incomprehensible text they proudly label: academic finesse.

Maybe I want to work. Maybe I want to feel empowered by some kind of position that eleviates me to Ms. Khoo , not just mommy's daughter... you know how it is when you're still studying and Mom still goes ' you come down here this minute and drink this soup! ' as if its perfectly legal to treat an over-21 year old adult as a 12 year old underaged kid in pigtails. Yes so I still wear pigtails but it doesn't mean I'm still a kid.

Teaching classes to secondary school teenagers is not considered as working. Its called doing a favour to myself and the kids who have come to me with tears in their eyes and saying : "I don't like that teacher, she's soooooo old and you're like a friend and I'd prefer to work hard for a friend more than for an old person." How's that?

I'm just in another one of those moods where I'm thinking whether I should seriously get a *more* permanent job.   ¶ 10:21
