Um, no. Just time spent in the same room together. As I sit here typing this we've gone over two hours now. That would be a record save staff 'workshop' retreats. |

Three hours. I *wish* it hadn't all been in English... because if it were in Korean, no one would have expected me to try to keep up... and it was a "motivational" meeting for the foreign teachers because our hagwon wasn't getting enough new students. You can guess how much of what was said was actually useful. |

| I managed to get out of all mine. Occasionally they ask me to drop in for 5 minutes to show "unity"-then I can go back to my desk. |

| "I'm sorry, but A) I'm busy, B) the meeting is always in Korean, and C) it usually doesn't pertain to me anyway. Could you do me a favour and let me know if anything important does come up, though? Thanks." Then I go back to reading a book. |

| 3.35pm and they're still going at it for the second day in a row. I just pretended I got a call on my handphone so I could sneak out for a smoke. |

| Oh crap - Monday afternoon we had a two-hour meeting. Teusday afternoon we had one that was almost as long. This morning we had a meeting that was at least two hours; I lost track of time. And now everyone's sitting down for another bloody meeting. Thank goodness I have my own desk and computer. The teachers who are based in the vocational staff room have to come over and sit around a table. If this afternoon's meeting is two hours that will bring us up to around eight for the week! |
