Hi All.
Well in true Korean style, my public school wants me to sit there this spring vacation (seven days with no students and nothing to do. The only snag....I sat the whole way between Christmas and new years with none...! 21-29
I did study for a long time, I was sure they would get tired of seeing me squirm on my seat before long.
I guess all I could do is choose not to do overtime for them or to sacrifice pay, but that would lead to some sort of showdown I guess.
Bring it on!! They're all laughing at me by now. |

I'm in your shoes (though I worked camp).
I must say, I'm making great progress on my hand knit glove. Forefinger and middle finger are done, thumb is halfway there... |

Hey,
Do you think it's any use trying the overtime bit then? Or do you think put up and shut up? |

I hope you held up the middle finger for the P & VP to see.  |

Where to? And travel would interfere w/ my "mass muscle building" gym regiment. Also, I'm one that prefers to save money rather than spend it. Anyway, I already had three weeks off this winter and didn't go anywhere except to the gym everyday.

I'm out of here in less than 4 months. I am over it. I'm using this time to
Knit
Study Korean
Work on puzzle books (logic, math, crossword, etc) that my parents sent
Redo some website stuff
Read pirated downloaded books
Plan my life back home
My VP is coteacher are usually awesome, I have a good relationship with both of them, etc. But this is one of those points the VP just won't budge about, unfortunately. However, I've missed quite a few classes to go to Labor, they've let me leave early a lot, etc, so I'm just holding tight. |
