of damaged thumbs and crossed other fingers

Considering that close to four years of accumulated teaching resources are on it, perhaps it would have been less painful to break an actual thumb

Eat my shorts, Mrs Chong

Earlier this week, i was opening one of the windows in my room when i noticed that its lever (or whatever you call that thingy that you push down to completely shut the window) had come loose. However as it was already dark out, i figured that i could deal with it only when there was some daylight. And the same thing happened again and again throughout the week.

Fast forward to today, when upon waking up, i finally saw the loose shutter lever bathed in daylight. Then it struck me, i'm never in my house during the daylight hours during the week. And come to think of it, there are some buildings i pass by on my way to and from work that i don't even know what their exact colour is since i only see them before six or after seven.

So i guess that's why i felt kind of bad about yesterday evening, when the uncle who's in charge of locking up the staff room after the last staff have left was pretty miffed that i had made him wait for so long - apparently he had some family gathering to go to. It was on my mind all the way home, and i came to the conclusion that while i have not much life out of school, i shouldn't subject that on others.

The conclusion? Well i shall try to leave school by 7:30pm. Still will reach home well after it's turned dark, but well it's a start eh?
