The Colorful Work World
Ch. 5 Days of Teaching 2

“Where did Mr Ray start?”

I heard my name being called and looked towards the source of the voice. There was another teacher who called my name. The name of this teacher is Ampad, he has long taught in this school. Maybe it's been decades. Some of the staff from this place had also been students of this father. He has a slightly fat and tall body with thin hair. He has a family but has no children.

“Alhamdulilah smoothly sir, only his students are still quite shy like him. No one asked.”

“Hahaha, ordinary. His name is also a new student. Soon after starting *** (Teaching Learning Activities) will appear which students are active and which are not.”

Ampad sat down in front of me and started talking to me about all sorts of things. Because he has worked in this place for a long time. He knows some of my brothers who work in this one foundation. The school I was in was in a foundation so the staff knew each other. He asked about the news of some of my sisters and also my brother who was or had worked at the foundation.

“How many new students pack for the school year this time?”

“Lumayan sir, although there are some students who moved to school” said Mr. Ampad while sighing.

According to Ampad. Our private schools are quite difficult to compete with public schools. Because some students who have been accepted here instead go to another school when they find out the registration of public school students is still open. Indeed, usually private schools are only parents of lyrics when their children are not able to enter public schools. But the spirit of private students learning is no less great than public schools.

Fortunately, the family is not very much. So that class activities will not be too influential because of this. After quite a lot of talking, Mr. Ampad permission to continue his duties because his position as vice principal and also head of department made him quite busy. Almost everything about legality has to go through Ampad.

Since I no longer have hours to spend, I want to go home soon. But because it was not good with the other staff. Inevitably I pretended to be busy while waiting for the MOS event to end. The event lasted for 3 days and it is still the first day. But I see from the schedule I already do not have teaching hours so until the MOS event ends. You could say I was angry. This is a great time to create some modules and materials for later teaching.

Unlike other teachers who have been teaching for years. I have absolutely no learning slides so it takes time to create the material. I could have copied the material from the outside, but it was not ethically done for the teacher. Unfortunately I don't carry a laptop today so other than playing HP. I just read books and talk to my teachers.

“Yes yes, how can there be students who like so.”

“i did not lie mom!!! there are our students who have done *** and **.”

When I was reading a book. I heard a conversation between the teachers. Like other mothers. Teachers in this school also often talk gossip while waiting for teaching hours. Since I was sitting near them, inevitably I heard what they were talking about. I also had time to join the stand while providing code to replace other topics that are more useful. Unfortunately, the message did not seem to have been captured.

“Yes Mr. Ray, be careful sir Huji.”

“Who is Huji?”

“itu loh who is bald and sleeping it”

The teacher pointed towards one of the sleeping teachers while whispering to me. According to the teacher, Mr. Huji has poor ethics as a teacher. The way he taught was also strange according to the students. You could say it is an example of parents that you should not imitate. Mr. Huji is also smart to take the headmaster's heart so that some of his behavior gets sorry.

“Halo Mr. Huji, meet me Ray. New teacher here.”

“Oh new teacher huh? I'm Mr. Huji, teaching English here. Just like Miss April”

Miss April is another teacher who also teaches at this school. I have not had time to meet him but according to the information I can (from eavesdropping on the talk of the teachers' mothers). It seems like miss April is quite a friendly teacher and has a good reputation among students.

“Mother why you slept sir? Last night staying up?” I asked while sitting in front of Mr. Huji.

“Iya nih, last night out Ronda same mengurusin work that has not been done.” Say Mr. Huji while massaging his eyes and back.

We started light talks like the home region of each. What and when graduates pass it. Surely that is not left behind, the question is married or not. I currently have no wife, let alone children. Hopefully someday I will find a soul mate that God has set for me.

Mr. Huji then decided to go somewhere else because he wanted to continue his rest. According to another teacher. Mr. Huji often sleeps in the library when he does not have teaching hours. This information is quite interesting because it seems like I can follow the steps of this one teacher.

After talking to him for a while, there were no rumors about him that were entirely true. The people are friendly and smile a lot. The science is also broad, he can be invited to talk about various things. But that alone is not enough to know the identity of a person. It could be under certain conditions, we will find new things from people we do not know too well. Only time can reveal that.

Time has shown lunch hour. Since I just worked here, it is still unclear if there is a canteen inside this school. While I was traveling around, I only found noodle menu as a stomach booster. Since I was being lazy to go out for food, I ordered instant noodles from this canteen. As usual, this canteen noodles are not very special. It feels more or less the same as if we cooked by ourselves. Unlike the warung burjo where I went to college.

The place has a noodle menu with eggs. I usually order boiled noodles because I prefer noodle soups over fried noodles. The taste of the noodles is so good that it makes me addicted. Unfortunately noodles are not good for health so I only eat them with a reasonable frequency. My school canteen noodles are currently on a much different level to the burjo's place, more below his level.

After lunch I saw that some of the teachers had come home. That's why I also took part like other teachers to go home. While greeting every teacher or student I met on the road to the parking lot.

Brm…

The sound of my motor was being turned on and I heated the engine while wearing a helmet. I also checked if there were any items left behind. After everything was done, I went through the gate while greeting the security guard who was on duty. Today is not too tired because it has not started teaching in full.
