Don't feel bad. I arrived at my usual time this morning and found that my school had changed it's entire schedule around to the point that I was late. My classroom and office had also been rearranged. It was quite a surprise but I handled it well. Students made nametags and we played an icebreaker game. I'd planned ahead and supplies were already in the classroom.

I am not terribly worried, but if I thought it was a clusterfuck before, now I am really sure it is.

My co-teacher believed until today that my contract finished on Feb. 28 and so did not plan for me being here until March 31st. Thus there is no schedule for me it seems. She then read my contract and discovered that it ends on March 31st, but rather than accepting that as the norm, is trying to discover if there is another contract that states my end date differently.

She wants my contract, well thats a problem as my school has my contract. The other contracts I signed are with Gepik Head Office who are my official sponsers, I always thought the school knew that. Explains why the school took my contract and never handed it back, they thought that was thier copy.

I just wonder if she actually thought about why I would still be at school if my contract had actually finished when she thought it did. I hope that they actually have the money to pay me for my last month, severance and airfare. I mean, I thought about a number of issues, but not whether they actually don't know my terms of contract.

Forget schedule, I am just wondering now if they even planned for me to be here or if I should be expecting to be dumped in 'shit' up to my eyeballs. I mean forgetting the date that a contract ends I can understand, but trying to find another contract that says differently than the one you read so you dont look bad is just insane.

Considering all the other teachers are now telling me that she is my co-teacher, I wonder if I can refuse to work with her.
