So they organize a camp for me for W-T-F. They know I don't want to do it. So my coteacher (she) submits that the camp is F-S-S. 50k an hour for S-S no less.

I'm thinking coco oil for the massage (acquired from coconut trees I've squeezed myself of course),
frozen mango shakes,
and toe sucking if she wants.

I think the meaning is that the camp was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, the co-teacher has reschedule the camp for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They also increased the rate to 50,000 KRW per hour for the weekend days.

That seems like the most likely interpretation.


So what to make of the second paragraph, where the OP offers to massage his co-teacher? Is the OP genuinely thrilled he is going to be getting a raise, or is the OP upset about working on his "F-S-S?" I really don't understand what he is trying to communicate in his post at all. It is hopelessly garbled.

Your co-teacher "submits" ???

Op, I hope you are a better teacher than you are a poster here on Dave's.

I believe that the OP is very happy to be getting rewarded with an above average sum of money for the camp.

One could hardly call working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday a reward.

Apologies for the brevity.

Yes, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. ....and Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

The paperwork was submitted to show that the camp was on the weekend, but in fact will be during the week. So instead of just fulfilling contract hours, I will get paid for it.

Yes, I am happy. One little ray of sunshine in what has been a massively crappy few weeks at work.

The suggestion that I would give my coteacher a massage was my not literal. Just my way of saying that I need to figure out how to reward my coteacher for going above and beyond on my behalf.

That's a relief, because the massage sounds like more of a reward to you than to her.
