some issues

For the whole of last week (with the exception of Thursday) , i had to lug my laptop home because I keep getting thrown work to do just before I knock off from work. Sometimes I work til about 2am (like on tuesday, coz I could only get down to work when I came bk from the musical), and I'd send the stuff I've done to my bosses in hope that they'd get to see it when they check their mail early in the morning. But no... i'd not receive any feedback whatsoever until the clock strikes 5.30pm or later..then I'd get instructions to make ammendments which are almost impossible to do before I knock off ... so i gotta bring work home to complete.

Or I'd get instructions on Friday at 5pm to book a room, do a briefing presentation, gather all 140 students for a briefing on Monday morning. Its either they think I'm soveriegn.. want room can get room, very efficient ... can complete briefing slides in 30mins, and all powerful ... to inform and gather all 140 students on Monday morning. Its insanity. The people who can book the rooms have already gone home by then. So i can only ask for help Monday Morning. And its not like as if u want it, u can get it immediately one lor. Unless maybe u're the principal or something.

I'm frustrated being caught in between both of them. One gives me this instruction, the other gives me another. Do it this way, and then changing it to doing it that way. After doing it that way, I get reprimanded for not doing it this way. God help me!

==================================================

I'm really getting quite frustated with the YEP co-worker. Now he says he doesn't want students who are graduating in March. So i sent him an email asking him to explain his reason. Is it a personal preference, or is it a school criteria in the selection of students? As far as I know, YEP's intention is for development of youths. To me... i don't see why 1. grades have to be a criteria. 2. status of students' graduation has to be a criteria either. Isn't doing community service based on altruism? Why should it be based on one's merit? Does a kid who's not so academically inclined be deprived the opportunity to be involved in community service work? In fact, i think they prob can relate better to those in need then the "elites". And so what even if the student graduates right after he/she goes for the YEP ? Are we not allowing him/her to go so that existing students can benefit from it, and thereafter contribute to the school? What crap. I don't care even if the student graduates ... afterall, isnt the intention for the wholistic development of the youth as a person? If it changes his/her life as a whole.. (not just his/her life as an ITE student), and helps him/her when they go out to the workforce, or even proceed onto poly..i say go for it.

So i'm really quite frustrated. I demanded to know the reason why.

Not like as if i can change anything anyway. but still.. i need to fight this.
