Happy Holidays

I'm taking my holiday slightly earlier due to being sick after visiting the doctor two days prior. The doctor went "What? You again?" Even the nurse and receptionist were amused to see me back soon. I was pretty embarrassed in case they thought I was a hypochondriac or someone who just wants to get an mc.

Turned out that I have something contagious and need a lot of R&R.

"What's your job again?" asked the doctor.

I get mixed emotions when asked that question because I'm very sick and tired of hearing the word "stress".

So I let out a sigh and said, "Teacher. English." and braced myself for the IT word & the endless questions about what level I teach, where I teach, bla, bla, bla.

But his only answer was, "Alhamdullilah, one of the hardest jobs in the world."

I like the Alhamdullilah part the most because I've never heard anyone say that about my job before. Yes, "Alhamdullilah" fits the description of my job best rather than "stress".

R&R to all teachers in Brunei. It's the holidays!
