Something to look forward to
After dropping my CV asking for a position as a teacher of English at the University of Cambodia (UC) for several months, i finally received a phone call requesting me to go and sit for a writing test.
So off i went for the test with some other candidates the next day. Surprisingly, i knew a few of them who are also from IFL. Socheat, who was my year four classmate, was also there sitting for the test.
We were required to sign before taking the test. By looking at the attendant list, i realized that i was facing a great competition considered that every candidate except one is from IFL and they are actually pursuing MA in TESL at IFL. One among them got a Master in IT from Thailand. OMG!
For a moment, i thought my dream of becoming a teacher again could be ruined by these guys. I was nervous i guess.
Last night I called Mrs. Rathana, one of the staff at UC administration office for some info about the test result. But she said there was nothing i could do but to wait for the phone call next week if i was to be qualified for the next and perhaps the last step, the interview.
I thought, ok, at least i have something to look forward to...........................

In the office, all by myself
Today, just like the other day, that i am here in the office alone. Most of my core workers have gone to a three day GIS training. In fact, i was also interested in this training but then its far too irrelevant to my field, and as far as the training organizer is concerned, there is a limited number of trainees who have been invited. So...i thought staying in the office alone doing something little thing wouldn't hurt.
But i guess i was wrong. It is almost impossible for me to work alone now. I mean its so deadly quiet. Normally i would have some of them who joke and laugh around to brighten up the environment. Now without them, i am feeling like i have been left alone in this cold cold world.
To make the situation worse, none of my friends show up online today. I wonder where they all have gone. Why wouldn't they be here when i need them the most.
