Folks:

Thanks to all concerned with your comments.

Ghost's personal doctor has strongly advised it not to take up the position on offer, because the stress of the position might produce deleterious consequences on the health of poor ghost......

Ghost spent a week in a Taiwan hospital last year, and does not want to go through that again....

Still worth working on this project. IAT has disappointed us - project not what we thought, but at the girl�s school we are making headway. Many of us are settled, wouldn�t still be here if it wasn�t for support of project manager and the school management. Want to do something different next year but, so keen to see what the 2007 brings. And, we get good pay, on time and good allowances.

You've been smoking way too much wacky backy in your shisha, girl!

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know...

It's not so much the wacky backy in the shisha but the fact that the supervisor at the girl's school spends more time in the shopping malls (MOD edit)

We lost this morning our excellent Supervisor at the Boys School - he resigned, greatly disillusioned by the chronic lack of progress, support, honesty, help, and communication from his employers.

He will be very sadly missed.

He returns to Canada a little saddened, slightly more hardened, and perhaps a less idealistic man, because of the way this 'Project' isn't.

Mid-30s.

Aged considerably in his four months tenure.

Blood pressure skyrocketed.

Not the only one to suffer such.

... the fact that it only took him 4 months to fall apart says more about him than it does about the employer.

Sounds like he hadn't educated himself about how the Middle East works... it is not place for the naive and uninformed...

...or, I assume, anyone who takes education seriously and is prevented from carrying out their profession to the best of their ability.
