Im gonna declare that today is the worse day on the job ever! Sigh... made so many mistakes... got reprimanded so many times... almost feel like some airhead...

First, my supervisor was going thru my staff allowance. As a part-time staff, I am paid by the hour and I have to log in to the system to submit the number of hours. There are days where I leave 5 mins and sometimes 20 mins later than the stipulated time. As the system only allows entries with 0,15,30 or 45 mins, I collated the extra 5 mins and place them as 15 mins for one of the days. However, my supervisor said that in real life you cannot be so calculative and said from now on, should I stay later than my stipulated time, she will not pay me, unless I have been asked to stay for another half hour or so.

After that she was going through the receipts for the school fees and realized that I have written down the wrong receipt no. for some kids. This was because all the receipts were together and I mixed up the receipts for the school fees and books. When she pointed out my mistake, I really felt like I can't be any more careless.

I then went to help with the showering (drying the kids,dressing and undressing them), however not long after, my supervisor told me the books were coming (Im in charge of ordering the books). Thinking that the guy bringing the books would take some time to reach the centre, I carried on helping with the showering and had to be reminded again that the books have arrived.

I checked the books, ensured that the titles were all correct and since they were tied up in batches, I counted one title per batch, to see that I got the exact number of copies. Thinking that all was fine, I signed and stamp the invoice. After the guy left, I delivered the books to the N2 class where the teacher rechecked the books and found out that 4 copies of one of the titles were missing. I rushed back to the office and rechecked the rest of the books and found no more missing. So I called the place where I ordered the books and told them what had happened. Thankfully, they agreed to send the 4 missing copies.

While I was counting, one of the teachers came by and told me she was showering K1 and my supervisor told me that some were having water play so there weren't many kids. Thinking I wasn't needed at the showering, I continued counting my books. By the time i headed back to the toilet, my supervisor said that i was too late, they dun need my help anymore, the next time they ask me to help somewhere, i am to go immediately, or else no point...

Sigh... I have never felt so inadequate in my whole life...
