TOTALLY NOT RELATED ^_^

Nothing.

It's 12:30am, I feel sleepy but I won't sleep coz I couldn't sleep coz that would be an academic suicide. Haha.

One exam, one report tomorrow.

But I just want to share to you what I do when I do not study nor work. ^_^

*I've sketched these using scribbler---> http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/


My first attempt! Not so good. haha. Beach, summer time!


Second attempt. This guy is L, from the Japanese anime Death Note. I wasn't able to finish the drawing because I accidentally closed the window. :( Good thing I was able to save earlier. :)

So there! That's what I do.

(I'm hoping to post something essential for your studies next time. Haha. For now, all nonsense. Sorry.) :D

Go ahead, try the website. I LOVE IT! Scribble your boredom away too! And draw like a pro. ^_^

February22 Monday

I opened my schedule. Something bizarre happened and I was so pissed off that I wasn't able to stop myself from sending a message to a staff in Tokyo expressing my discomfort about the matter. Generally, I don't like substitution classes for students whom I've never even had the chance to have lessons with, especially if that student is 'loyal' to certain tutors. So, in a nutshell, this is what happened:

6:55 > notice for substitution class (50 minute class,7-8pm), only 5 minutes to read the student's profile
7:00 > I made a call to the student
7:03> I ended the call
7:16> The student's code was removed from my schedule

I called. The student did not want to talk to me. He wanted his previously reserved tutor. That tutor canceled lessons 5 minutes before the class. That's for sure because the class got transferred to my sched at that time also. At 7pm, the student informed me that his tutor is now willing to take the class. Apparently, the tutor changed mind and is now going to teach. I did not know what to do. He, the student, is in my schedule. Hence, he is my responsibility at that time. But the student did not want my class. Fine. I dropped the call and ranted to Tokyo staff who transferred the class.

Why am I pissed off? Clearly, some people only mind their own time without regards to somebody else's time. The tutor canceled the class 5 minutes before it started, only to change mind in a couple of minutes and tried to get back the student she just lost. Didn't she know what that is? That's a simple form of PIRACY. My point is, we should be responsible of the consequences of our own actions. If you canceled, lost student, opened the sched again---fine. But bear the consequence of not having a student at that slot. Because you lost it, at your own decision. So what now. Since the student wanted his previous tutor, he was transferred back to his tutor. I lost an hour of class, without a student. I sent a message to Tokyo that I didn't appreciate what just happened and asked the staff to rely the message to the tutor and the student, to never pull such act again because if they didn't realize it, they caused a lot of confusion, wasted somebody else's time, caused more work for the staff, lost work for another tutor.

I hate it more that the Tokyo staff was so sorry to me for the tutor's action. I was sorry to the staff--- sorry that he had to take my rants about the situation when it was not even his fault; Sorry that he had to be sorry for another person's irresponsibility; ashamed of the tutor's attitude.

The staff, maybe because he was sorry that I lost one hour, transferred another student to my schedule. That was nice of him. But my mood was spoiled then. It's a good thing I love the students who followed. ^_^

February 25 Thursday

My anniversary with RareJob! wooooooooooooooooo! (party!) Haha. But I didn't realize that 'til Saturday. Lately I'm too busy I'm not aware of the time. It's a good feeling to know that I'm still here after a year. :)

February 27 Saturday

I realized that Thursday marks my one year teaching. Haha! So, I was curious and feeling sentimental at that time. I went back to my very first day in my schedule. I taught 3.5 hours, 6 students. I opened each student's profile and I was so happy to know that 4 of them are still taking lessons with RareJob. Yey! ^_^ The other 2 stopped last year around August and September. I can't help thinking why. -_-

February 28 Sunday

One of the rare days that I open a morning schedule. Waaaaaaaaah! It was so hard to wake up! I think I barely slept for fear that I wouldn't be able to wake up in time for my class. :D

Why did I teach? Because my cancellation rate is at 16.8%. That means losing 1/4 of my salary for this month. Haha! Oh no, that can't be! The allowable cancellation is below 15 %. I couldn't teach at night because I have to go somewhere. So I had no choice but to teach in the morning, 3 hours; it brought down my cancellation rate at 14.8%. Yahooooo! I'm safe; my salary's safe. Haha. :D And my students were old ones (I mean, my old students, not new. hehe), I was so happy to talk to them. It felt that it was worth losing sleep just to teach them. After my class at 11 AM Philippine time, I slept again 'til 4 pm. ^_^

I need to end this post, it's so long already and I feel like I am making this blog all about myself. Hahahaha. Almost 1 AM, Good night! ^_^
