AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Well I packed up all my stuff today and I was waiiting in my apartment for the movers to come. I get a phone call demanding why I'm not waiting for pick up and I said I was at my apartment waiting to move as requested.
I have been told that they dont know when I will be moving or infact where I will be moving too.
At this point I'm just about to go postal. I really want to have a big hissy fit but am managing to hold it in mainly because I know that the hissy fit will probably result in me getting summarily dismissed.
On the other hand I have an apartment packed up and the threat of being moved at some point in the future. The thought of living out of a box for however long the director deems necessary seems a very miserable way to spend my last few weeks here.

If it is only for a few weeks, what's the problem?
I would have gone postal. Like seriously postal.
Then again, I can't understand why more foreigners don't get their own apartments. Then there is less stress when it comes to your job. Oh and before people go off on the key money thing...5 mil is a couple months saving so after your first 3 months it really shouldn't be a problem. |

Mr Pink,
It's just the getting jerked around thing that is driving me crazy. The apartment bollocks on top of the never ending timetable changes are getting to me. Plus in the back of my mind I worry that if she's not keeping her word on this (I had an assurance I wouldn't be moving in early december) then I'm not going to get my severence come contract finishing time.
I'm defintly looking into getting my own pad for my next job (but the benefit of hindsight is 20/20) As I have the key money and that way I can live in an officetel rather than in villa ghetto.
That said if I find a decent school that won't jerk me around I would settle for a living in supplied digs. The only people I personally know how get shunted from place to place are people that work for my current boss.
