Window Painting

“No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.”-Elbert Hubbard

I head this quote few months ago from my favorite TV show.. Really love it.. There were times when I hated holiday. But after I worked, I really appreciate holiday.. My summer holiday ended last week, and I had to go back to work on Monday..Soooooo lazy.. felt like I didn’t have enough holiday, although I’ve had one whole month..

I came early on Monday, gave my hugs to everyone at work, met some new colleague, and I was told that we need to redecorate the room.. It’s not fair.. everyone decorate the room in groups of two.. But I’m alone.. Fortunately, I’m a part-timer so I don’t have so many works as others, and I only have to stay half day..

Day 1, Still in the holiday mood..I wondered what to do.. I knew I had to decorate the music room, but I had got no idea nor material.  Everyone got a theme, but music room’s theme will always be music so I thought I could use my old decoration.  Everybody got their windows cleared so they can paint a new picture on it, luckily my window painting was still there, so I didn’t have to repaint. Though honestly the windows needed a repaint.. So I went around the school, visited every classes.. Stayed there for a while, had a little talk.. Then I went home..

Day 2, I made up my mind, OK, maybe I’ll just help others.. So I visited one of my colleague room, stayed there and helped her cutting some papers..  Suddenly, a surprising news came around, her partner who had worked for years were leaving the school cause she got a better job.. We had a “little talk” there about the school and the principal ( actually I was only a listener since I had no problem with the company ). Then suddenly the principal passed by, and came into the class.. And she asked me,”How was your Music Room ?”..  Had a bit of guilty feelings, I said to her “I’m still waiting for the material, Miss.. By the way, do I need to repaint the windows?” Then she said, ” It’s so ugly right? OK, I’ll ask the house boy to clean it so you can repaint it.. Glad you asked”.. OMG.. That’s when I realized what I did… I had just gave myself a job.. I have to paint 5 big windows by myself.. Little Talk punishment? Or maybe deep inside me, I was jealous that I didn’t get painting job?? LOL
