The next decade....what's in store?

Twice in one week

Last Monday I went off property in the afternoon. I drove back into the car park, and met a fella who was going to be having a 4pm interview with me.

We walked into my office building and I went to take him to the office where he would fill out his forms (same room we had Summer School in), while I quickly ate my lunch. As I approached the door, which was closed, I heard chatter. I couldn't imagine that NPH, whose office is next door, had so many people in with her.

Lo and behold, I opened the door only to find Mr D, Mr T and Mr PM in there playing cards! They saw the look of shock on my face, but they just said hi and continued playing cards.

They said it was Mr D's idea, who said "let's go and look for Miss"....besides, she promised us ice cream. But ice cream place doh open pon Monday boss. I told them that while it was lovely to see them, they can't just turn up so because I might not be here, or I might be in a meeting. I also asked them if they got homework and they all answered me as if they thought I was crazy. 'It's the first day of school Miss!"

I took them to lunch in the Canteen, where I also wolfed down my late lunch. Oh to have a REAL Lunch Hour!

So I took the fella into my office where he filled out his form (well he can't read properly, so that didn't take long). Then I went into the Q & A. Soon after, there was a knock on the door. Mr PM. I can't remember what he wanted but it wasn't anything urgent.

A few minutes later, there was another knock. And when there was a third knock, again by Mr PM, this was how that conversation went.

Me: Mr PM, suppose you were this gentleman in an interview with me and you kept being disturbed, what would you think?
Mr PM: All you have to do is ask for excuse.

You seeit???

We then went to The Fifth Kid's house to drop off his certificates and goody bag. On the way, Mr T, who had bagged the front of course, told me to stop by the Sweet Sop tree (Sugar Apple). He picked one for me because he remembered me saying a few weeks ago that I love them.

When I took Mr T home, his mother was outside waiting, because by now, it was 6pm and school done from 2:30! I had however called Mr T's older brother to tell him where he was. When I walked in, Mr T brought a hand of the Chiney Bananas for me (remember I had asked them about the green ones a few weeks ago). He has a heart.

Then Friday, I went to a meeting off property. Later on long after I returned, my boss and I were chatting and he said he evicted three boys today (jokingly). He said three of them came just as he was leaving to catch the bank. He told them I wasn't here. They asked if they couldn't stay. No. Cause there was nobody else in the building, and believe you me, they would create havoc!

My boss also said that one of the boys is not from the Gang of Five. He described him and I think I know who it is. Another one of those I taught last school year.

So this must be Yamfoot's Homework Club starting or suppen!

On a related note, I told my dentist about Mr PM, cause his teeth are really bad. So she says she will examine him at no cost and then we take it from there. So next week, it's off to the dentist for him. I don't think he has ever been.

And on a further related note, I put Mr KF's mother in for consideration for hiring, so she did her interview, and her two days try out. The Dept Head said it went ok, so she may just have a job in a few weeks! As I said to her, if her son is any indication of how she is, and I would think he is, then we would know that she would behave in a manner in keeping with our employees.

Also, NPH suggested that we could give her a small bed we are not using, so the bigger boss agreed and I told Mr KF's mother that we will arrange it.

Right. Let's see what surprises my Gang of Five throw up next week.
