for love or money?


it's a tough one.

so my boss called me the other day to his office and mind you that windowless room isn't exactly my favourite room thanks to the amount of scoldings, reprimands and confrontations i had with him. as usual, he had the glum look on his face *actually some of us think it's all just an act so that he does to gain respect from us subordinates..ahaha* and he told me that i haven't been doing my job well up to his standard. he went on explaining that he needed a marketing assistant manager who is more available later than the supposed office hour *but we ARE paid til the office hour wot? i felt like smacking him..haha* and there i was sitting down listening to him blabbering high and low about how other marketing people stay much later than i do *c'mon it's bcoz they are slooooow..it's not a competition of who stays the latest!hahaha..* then he popped up the bomb:

"i think you should quit your tutoring"

wtf???? i've been tutoring ever since i am in my first semester of university and what was meant to be long draggy hours teaching brats had turned to enjoyable time chatting *while teaching of course* with wonderful erm..brats..hahaa..they are not "nice" but of course that's what makes all of them so interesting i think.










well i never really thought about it until he dropped another one:

"i have adjusted your pay immensely so i think i have the right to demand something out of it"

he did? really? that's nice.. :D but what about my students...hmm the question lies:

"for love or money?"

just like that cheap reality show, i find myself between two options: the money is good - DAMN good in fact...but i've kinduv grown attached to those kids..



"could you give me some time to think about it?"

i couldn't believe i actually said that.

Just think about it, are you more attached to money, or to the kids?

Good luck, hope you can come out with the best decision!
