I Seriously Need a Break

I’M SO damn tired. (sigh)
No, don’t get me wrong. I’m so happy with teaching. I love the discovery each and every day. What consumes most of my energy are the other tasks assigned to me.
Don’t get me wrong again. I enjoy doing other tasks, too — if and only if I know the objectives of such activities. Sometimes I don’t understand what output I should deliver.
In my previous job, I knew what my boss wants. The orders were specific, the targets were defined. But now, I really don’t understand what my boss expects. But she hadn’t complained (like she always does with one of my co-teacher’s) about my output so far. But it always takes me so long to interpolate and interpret her statements. And I toil to show her updates regarding my tasks.
All these stress make me forgetful. Sometimes, in the middle of the lesson, I would forget what I was talking about seconds ago. That’s totally disgusting. I’m just thankful, my students are cool about it.
Oftentimes, I forget where I placed my wallet, my cellphone, my keys, and just recently may bag. Sometimes I borrow pens and I don’t know from whom I borrowed the one I’m holding. I have become the laughing stock in the faculty room. They call me the old man.
These things are proofs that I need a break. I have to refresh my mind, organize my thoughts, and rejuvenate my spirit.
The problem is how do I do it?
ganyan kapag busy tayo. nakakapraning. hindi ka nag iisa. ordinaryo lang sa akin yan pero i understand what you feel. matawa ka sa ishare ko. yung isa kung officemate, nakalimutan magsuot ng bra at natuklasan na lang niya sa office nang maramdaman niyang parang magaan at mahangin ang kanyang pakiramdam.

@redlan, That’s hilarious. haha. thanks for the comment. Yesterday, after posting this, my co-teacher reminded me that I left my phone in the faculty room. When I went to the faculty room, it was already locked and they all have gone home. The duplicate was not at the place we used to hang it. Good thing, the guard has inherited some of Lupin III’s skills.

@cors, Yup. Two weeks after grad I started working na eh. Tapos heavy office work pa tlga. Cguro nga, that’s the reason for the weariness. I dunno.
It’s really gud to refresh your mind sometimes to maintain your productivity. If you are going to the beach, ako I’m attending a poetry night. Cguro they would be equally relaxing. haha. Thanks, cors.

We got the same problem about the ballpen stuff. Ilang ballpens na rin ang hindi ko nasasauli kasi no one claims them or perhaps absent lang ang may-ari. To solve the dilemma, I bring my own pen otherwise if I borrow a pen from one of my student I remind her to get her pen back from me before dismissal.
This is a result of too much stress and having a lot of stuff in mind, best solution for this is give yourself a day of relief or have a good hobby to release all the tension.
