…

The most bearded Korean I have seen since I got here. Quietly snorkeling away post his five day market visit. Big ass gold chain on his left wrist surprised me, but hey: go, gangster, go.

From the personal side of the fence I recently got screwed for seven days worth of holidays. When I signed my second contract there is a bonus of getting seven additional days when you do. Discussions at that time were centered on pushing these days out to 2010 and my co-teacher and I agreed on that. When I filed, in writing, for my twenty-six days of holidays in February I reminded her that I was still owed fifteen days in 2010 (eight original and the seven bonus). That was in early November. Now in early December she comes back and says there is a problem and I should have actually taken those seven days before the 2008-2009 contract ended in August, 2009. No mention/recollection of the discussions that took place last Spring, no leeway, no nothing… just a weak kneed “sorry, David-de”. Met with my principal and co-teacher just yesterday – no budging on their part – my fault, not theirs.

Lying, thieving bastards.

More fuel to the heading home bonfire as far as I’m concerned.

I’m pissed – better: I’m motivated.
