You know my previous co-teacher..............the scumbag........

This morning my new co-teacher walks in a bit flustered about me leaving to pay my bill at 1.00pm yesterday.

I explained to her I asked the Principal if I could pay it and he agreed. I also informed her he has previously allowed me to pay bills by leaving at 1.00pm. He has never expressed any opposition to me leaving to pay bills right after class ends. In fact he has previously stated it was ok for me to leave right after class.

My new co-teacher told me she was confused because my old co-teacher told her I should leave to pay bills at 4.00, even though that is a lie, that is the time she wants me to leave, but she is upset the Principal lets me leave early.

The new co-teacher went to see the Principal (even though there is no need) and he asked her to come back later, she wants a definitive answer about this issue, even though the Principal has previously given me a definite answer.

My old co-teacher is a stirrer. Shall I refuse to see the Principal with her later on, seeing as this has never been an issue. I don't want to lose out on the benefit of leaving early.

Leaving early is OK on special occasions, but most Koreans pay bills by tele-banking.

If you were leaving to pay bills frequently, then I can see how it would cause some discord.

Atavistic, why won't this idiot get a blog instead-we all know it's not because the OP is too busy flossing!

Let's talk about the OP in the third person in the hope we can hide our own inadequacy, under the guise of being condescending.

I'm real. How dare you! I know loads of people in real life called 'fromtheuk'. You guys are so slow! Laughing

seriously, either do something about your problems at the school (talk to your principal, suggest to him that you have another school willing to hire you and they'll offer you your home leave inbetween contracts, extra vacation, whatever), or get a blog.

people have already given you advice about your situation

You are a very naughty person.

By the way, you should check out Pink Floyd at Pompeii or any of the Jimi stuff on youtube.com for your personal healing, eh.

Rochie no lie.

Refer to "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" or, say, "Atom Heart Mother" or any of the "Echoes" sides (there are 3 as I remember).

What's equally decent is "Machine Gun" by Jimi Hendrix - it'll light you on fire in some sense even if you're from B.C., eh.

Be my psychiatrist!! Please! I'm not takin' the piss!

I love you very much!

P.S.: Would you accept me - warts and all?! I'd accept you, Mate/Mistress, forever and ever.

Really fromtheuk is one of the if not the most funniest contributors to this forum, let's not dissuade his antics.

This is his best stuff.
