Killers in office

Before getting into the topic, I want to thank trisha for the comments, really appreciate that someone actually reads what I thinks (my wife thinks it is crap) and one more thing, english teacher, please dun mark me for my grammer and tenses. :P (hahaha, but correct me if needed). After reading her blog about private sector, it gave me some thoughts about office politics in teaching and have discussed with some colleagues and came to an agreement. There are basically three types of killers among the teaching staff.

1st: Ninja
The ninja hides in the shadow, waiting for oppotunity to strike, kind of like a cheetah hunting for its prey. Then it will sudden come out and strike a heavy blow that will knock the victim out and disappear. Examples are those who make little reports to the supervisors like so-so said this about the supervisor or this teacher's class very noise, no classroom management. Beware! Like real ninja, they have other different methods of striking.

2nd: Assassin
Hunting method is similar to ninja, differ in the killing method. Assassin will prowl in from the back of the victim silently and stab hard at the back of the victim. Sometimes, assassin may choose to cover the mouth of victim before silting the throat to silence the victim. Also nicknamed backstabber. Example: Teacher A and Teacher B co-teach in the same class, however, Teacher A reports to the supervisor that he did alot of work for the class when in fact, it is Teacher B who did most of the work, all done without the knowing of Teacher B.

3rd: Murderer
The killing method of murderer is much simpler, reflecting the lack of intelligences of the murderer. There is less planning involved and less prowling and hunting. The murderer will move in from the front of the victim, draws the weapon and stab right into the vitals of the vicitm. Victim can see the heartless eyes of the murderer before losing breathe. Example of this will be the person may mention something unkind over what you have said in the past, all in the presence of a H.O.D. or some supervisor.

I guess these killers are found everywhere else too. There is nothing much we can do to defend ourselves, except by praying for GOD' protection around us, and keep us from falling into the sin of killing others. Amen.


Sorry, must side-track a little. Time are getting better and more relax after the exam and marking and marks calculation period. Like the rest of the teachers, we are all preparing to go into the holiday break in two weeks time. YAHOO! Actually, three weeks of 'O' levels invigilation first, then holiday. CARPE DIEM
