"Yah, Yah, Yogi yogi" is yet again being shouted by another teacher at students who are cleaning the office.

Everyday this week there has been one teacher or another shouting at the kids who have come in to do this.

Yesterdays lady went on for nearly 40 minutes non stop.

Wonder why they can't just tell the kids what to do rathy.r than shouting at them.

And why is one of the teachers now opening all the windows with the air con on? Happened twice this week and ended up with the head teacher shouting at them for opening the windows when the air is on. The teacher then having a fit and storming out.

Going to be a long day toda.

Because they won't feel as superior!

Fair enough, still should only take one telling then sit down and relax. Just making their lives more stressful.

Now now, don't be so harsh on teachers so loving as to make sure their poor mindless, non-thinking subjects redistribute the dust and dirt just right using water with no chemicals on a floor that everyone will immediately walk over while still wet.

I think it's just that I have been on my own in the office for weeks and now suddenly there are these people in her making noise - the same ducking 'heya' sound again and again and again and again and again and again.

I'm not one for getting irritated but I think it's time to take a walk.

The guy is red in the face, sweat pisssing down him all because he couldn't sit in his seat and relax and let the kids clean.

The only thing that seriously irritates me about my job is the office. The constant ear-shattering handphone volumes and the repetitive "yah! Kogi!"'s. It's really grating.

Yes.

Today is the day that a vast majority of the teachers are slinking in. I have forgotten my headphones and am now starting to get that irritated feeling in my muscles.

I am very proud of my self control these days. A few years back I booted a Filipina out of my office in Thailand and locked the door on her, for coming in and singing a good morning song at the top of her voice.

They are a decent bunch here though so I wil bite my tongue and maybe dissapear to my classroom in a few minutes.
