Work

I have not blogged much about my current career as a full time lecturer at a local private university.

Actually, I never did. And there are reasons to this. Well, to put it simply, I hated the job. Hate it more than I hate Bunkface's frontman. Lots of reasons come to mind, but the most prominent would probably be the environment. Let's face it, even with all the bad things that 'some' say about the University I graduated from , UiTM, overall it was one heck of a trip during my degree days. The environment was perfect with a faculty that is made for educating ungrateful (not all, I mean) students all across the country. We had a good set of equipments, labs, library and all the things you should find in a good University. *Sage nod*

This place? Not so much. The classes are basically rooms with monotonous white paint and the air conditioning tends to freeze people to death or go the direct opposite which is not WORK AT ALL and fry people to death. The classes are not equipped with LCD projectors. I'm not trying to nitpick, but with all the money that the students pay every semester (believe me, they pay fortunes), a little help with installations of these projectors would suffice but NOO....

And us lecturers get treated like garbage. We get pushed to do some some work that are not in our job description. And we're the ones TEACHING the students. Myah.

But the one that bothered me most is the fact that I was alone. The camaraderie I had in my degree days was lost. Friends, familiar faces and reassuring lecturers would always make me feel happy. I missed my makcik by my side too. And until this day, this feeling never ceased. I know I could just connect with all the other lecturers, but I never did. I don't hate them, I just don't see them as important and as personal as those I called friends back in school and varsity days. But hey, at least takyah nak susah jage hati orang.

So did all that bother me too much that I'd stop working? No, far from it. Yes, I don't see it as a permanent job, but at least I'm paid (albeit a bit late every month) and it serves to enrich my self in terms of experience. Bolehla. It's still kinda shitty but I learned not to mind too much anymore.
