Today was a snow day, which is pretty foreign to me. Apparently it means there is too much snow around, so none of us have to go to work. Which is good, because I was planning on cutting work anyway today. I was also extremely late for work yesterday... on purpose.
Let me tell you a little something about myself. I hate responsibility, and am pretty much doomed in any job that has me working by any schedule other than my own.
First of all, I have a slight problem with being on time. By slight I mean extreme, and by extreme I mean you can't possibly get any worse. Now, this isn't entirely my fault. I'm under the impression that I'm cursed or something. No matter what I do or how hard I try, it is almost impossible for me to be on time for anything. If I try to be on time I will be late. If I try to be early then I will be later than usual. Back in Cali, if I had a one o'clock shift on a slow Wednesday there would, for no reason at all, be millions of cars on the road and multiple brush fires. And one of my favorite events was when my perfectly functioning car refused to start for no reason at all when I needed to be at my dad's house. He eventually came over to see what the problem was and it started perfectly the moment I try to show him that something was wrong. And then, combine this with the fact that if I'm ready to leave my house early, I always feel as though there is something I could be doing with my time for those last few minutes. So I start something and then don't want to leave until it is finished. AND I don't really believe in time. People always want to use the clock to tell them what to do. When it comes to me, I eat when I'm hungry and sleep when I'm tired. None of this "eat dinner by six" or "go to bed by eleven" crap.
BUT for this job, I just don't care.
I've also been upset about the job, which accounts for much of my behavior as well. One of the teachers is being lazy and making me do tons of work that he knows darn well he should be doing himself. He's also been trying to boss me around lately. He doesn't seem to get that I don't accept him as a superior. He's been doing this longer, yes, but to me he's just another teacher like myself. But the Japanese culture has such superior/inferior issues that it's ridiculous. He got on my bad side yesterday, but we won't go into that.
