Are you referring to the old job or the new job? Hopefully the old! |

| Both jobs are history now and I'm unemployed, plus I've got some sort of sinus thing going on and I'm not sure that I have the heart to stay here any longer. I may just put my tail between my legs and head for home. |

Crap! That sucks!
Who knows, maybe it is a sign.
You've got your CELTA, so you can always find something later.
Maybe some re-coop time is just want you need. Go home for the holidays, and start fresh in the new year! 
I do feel for ya, though. |

 Damn that sucks. Was the argument about the ondol or something else? I swear that 9 hour shift is one of the biggest red flags that the job is going to suck. |

| With it being my first day and all that, I needed some extra prep time, (who woulda thunk it, eh?) and some of the classes (like gym) were taught with a couple of classes together, so instead of taking responsibility and giving me that time, the other teacher wanted to bully me around and do nothing while I managed the kids. I let this go on for awhile, but I was just about done with him by lunchtime. After lunch, I sorta exploded. |
