I was sitting in staff room when my colleague, a Sri Lankan
national, walked in. I noticed she was dressed casually. She sat nearby and
began looking into some exercise books. She was correcting some students work.
A few minutes later the Supervisor approached her and told her to go to class.
He thought she had forgotten that she had a class at that time. She looked at
him and said ‘I am on leave today’. The Supervisor was surprised and left,probably to check if she was really on leave. I asked her what she was doing in
the staff room, if she was on leave. She said she had come to correct some work
she had given to the students and that she would be going home after that to
take care of some other things. It was the first time I saw someone coming to
the work place while on leave and choosing to do some work and at the same time
refusing to do some other work.
