Election Duties, then MARKING EXAMS

Election buzz is over and pass. Some Singaporeans (young and old) were happy that they got to vote, GRC, MPs won and lost etc. All that amount of media bombament on election and the aftermath on Gomez makes me sick. After all, I had to do election duties, spending one good saturaday in some school, entertaining jokers, as if I have nothing to do. I have stacks of exams papers to mark. even if i did not mark, I could have spend time with my family, like the voters after all it is considered a public holiday. #%#!@!%#&$#&$#&#$@@!$

On top of that, the amount of manpower is so poorly planned. There is 1 person for every roles and the person is expected to be there to collect the ballot box at 6am and return the ballot box after 8pm. PLEASE count the number of hours!! that is like 15 hours of work and no one to relief or do shift. Who cares about the extra pay and extra off???!!! Accountants will talk about the oppotunity cost between the two situations. DO you think that time for yourself and family is worth more than the meagre $200+ and 1 day that they give you????

MArking exam scripts can be a pain in the ____________. So many scripts, so little time. Having the mark the exam scripts during this long weekend is low morale. If i am a office worker, I will be out enjoying myself, do shopping, karaoke etc, then facing the scripts. ARGH!!!

Teaching is a noble job. HAHAHAHA. Please excuse my grammer. After reading so many scripts with terrible language and the tiredness from the election duties, I can hardly think straight anymore. HAHAHAHA.
