|
Gotta phone call yesterday (on the holiday) to tell me that, in addition to my two weeks of camp for the students, there's some mysterious other class I have to teach. They forgot about this and are having trouble finding "The Document". They think they will be 3-4 hour classes for three days with English teachers, but they are not sure.
Don't worry though. Someone will come into the office on the seventh to try to find "The Document". Never mind the fact that this "someone" doesn't speak English, so I hope "The Document" is in English, or else I'm screwed AND that the mystery class starts on the 14th, so that gives me seven days (during camp) to create (maybe?) 12 hours of teaching material, once I found out how the class time is divided/class size.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting on my ass in a cold office this week with nothing to do.
Also, the mystery class is on camp days, so either the classes I've already finished planning will be cancelled, or I'll be putting in 8 hours of classroom time for three days in a row.
Yippy skippy.
I love my job. But honestly.

Why don't you make it your mission to figure out how to turn on the heat? |

OP, all your seat-warming time is gonna slow to a crawl if you're not comfortable. talk to the admin girls (or gesture wildly) about turning on the heat in your office.
i wouldn't worry about the teacher classes, most of the english teachers will just want conversation classes (find a book or a website with a short bit of reading on a topic with some discussion questions) |

Well, I'm glad someone's amused.
On top of this, I'm now being asked (in the eleventh hour) very insistently by my coteacher if I "have any idea you think to delay classes students?" because "you have to tell students before if you change schedule because teacher's classes. You know you have to. So about delay, what you think?"
Despite the fact that I've asked three times (in this conversation):
A. What the camp schedule is (it starts Monday and I still don't know)
B. What time she thinks the teachers' classes might be
C. What my "delay" options actually are
I need at least two thirds of that information before I can answer the question she's (at this point) shouting in my face.
Urgh.
Honestly. I really do love my job.
I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my...
F*** it. It's four thirty. Time to go home and start drinking. |

Gombae! Bravo!
Here's to self-medication. I think your co-teacher would drive a SDA minister to drink!  |
