Thick-skinned


School has just reopened, the staff room is still in such a mess, it will be parents' day on Friday, but the system that generates the results can't still work properly and correctly. Anyway, we are always good at getting jobs done at the eleventh hour, so, nobody seems worry and panic at all... haven't got my power point slides ready for the talk to be delivered on Friday afternoon too, and is forced to work till late in the night...
I took nasi beriani for lunch today. One of my colleagues treated me nasi beriani, a kind of Malay style rice. He treated only three colleagues in the staff room, I was lucky enough to be one of the three. He is going to finish his service contract at the end of the month, and he was just trying to express his gratitude to us for helping him before, but..... I couldn’t even remember when and what had I been helping him??? I could really hardly remember!!! Anyway, I still gobbled up the nasi beriani, though I didn't know what had I really done to help, ’cause I was too hungry!!!
I am always such thick-skinned!
