I was Absent from school.

Yesterday I hadn't gone to school as I had an appointment for Visa. There were very few teachers in the school so my group was merged with My's group which unsettled all the children and they behaved crazily the whole day.

Today My complained that I shouldn't make morning appointments as they mean getting absent from school. I laughed it aside and told her that our VISA appointments are arranged by my husband's company agents and not us so we cannot choose appointment time.

Mz has come back from her honeymoon.

I talked to Jn. I just told him that I had heard he had an argument with Mks. I didn't tell him anything what he had been saying to him. And he too was pretty cool enough. He didn't mind it very much, at least not too much. I was so so so very glad about this.
"Basically, I don't like this place; it is much too chaotic and disorganizsed. I feel I am not able to work here the way I want to but....it's okay."
I just dropped him a word of advise that he shouldn't discuss his religious views and opinions with others as people don't understand and then make fun. He nodded slowly. Apparently he was trying to recall what he had said to whom.
"Yes....I understand..."
"Jn, you are such a nice person. I only want you to be happy wherever you are. That's all."

While we were this chatting Mks came along. he stared at me.
"Don't you want to go home? You are half an hour late." He reproached.
"I was just talking to Jn that tomorrow I have a very big festival. I would like to excuse myself from the meeting."
"Stf is in the office. Go and ask her RIGHT NOW. If you ask Mz or My they may not allow you but Stf can. Your festival is important to you."
"I would hate to bring in my festivals on my work place." I protested.
"Well, when we have our Christmas, we take 15 days holiday; you are only absenting yourself from a meeting in the evening. Go and ask Stf now"
"Okay, and if she drives the topic to something else, I will come back and get you."
"Agreed."

I went in and talked to Stf and she was perfectly fine with it. "Oh, you need not worry. The meeting is not important. It is only to tell some teachers how to send the emails etc. but your group is already doing that so no problem."\
was so glad. I went to Mks then and said my thanks to him.

Since yesterday our group's sleeping room has been changed and now our children no longer sleep together with Mks' children. The fact that we both had to supervise our sleeping children in the same area had developed a friendship between me and him which, I know, would never have developed otherwise. We used to help each other in everything, play silly pranks on each other and when the children slept we used to chat. He had admitted the he had told me things which he had never to anyone else before. ( well, stuff like having visions of God and crying for Him, his childhood etc.)

Tomorrow we have Halloween party in school. Everybody has to go dressed up in Halloween costume. I plan to dress up as a witch with black mask, horns on my black casuals and false teeth.
