Crappy Week

I wish i could erase this week from my memory. What a crappy week! And it's just Wednesday. Few more days to go and i'm already dreading the coming days.

It's so difficult when you have to cover the blunders that people around you make. One of my panel members( Teacher A ) forgot (!) to set the exam paper and we came to know about the 'absence' of examination papers just 30 minutes before the exam! Everyone panicked and i had to handle the situation as the head of the panel. It's so difficult to handle scold your seniors and it's extra difficult for me as i don't know how to lash out at people. i remember informing her about her duty 3 weeks before the exam and yet she forgot. And when i questioned her she passed the blame on another teacher ( teacher B)  and eventually admitted that she overlooked the matter. So we decided to resolve the matter by setting an instant paper and i thought that was it when Teacher B barged in all teary demanding apology from teacher A for unnecessarily dragging in her name. I was actually stunned at teachers behaving so kiddish. Few colleagues intervened and we managed to calm her down (well, that's what i thought). Then, i came to know this teacher went to see the Senior Assistant and cried and complained and did all that she could to get the whole school's attention. Though it was Teacher A's mistake to have dragged in Teacher B i still can't justify Teacher B's reaction to this matter.  I wish she could have exhibited some maturity in this matter. I thought  i'm very kiddish in handling emotions and these people prove me wrong :) One of my friends was surprised that i did not lash out or get emotional handling the situation. I guess she does not know that i CAN'T lash out at people and that's why i'm amused to see people screaming at each other in public. Anyways the whole school got to know that issue and everyone was drilling me with the same "what happened" dialogue whole day :(

When people around you make a blunder you can cover for them and support them and but when people who are close to you make blunder and it affects someone dear to you what do you do? That's the 'torn-in-between-two' dilemma. If you support one then indirectly you are hurting the other and there is no win-win situation here either. Truth hurts :( Godspeed
