Today my co-teacher explained herself to me, without me asking first.

She tells me she has been acting bad to me and is unhappy because the P. and V.P. are giving her lots of hassle. Especially over getting some renovations done to our classroom.

She said the P. got angry with her for not giving 3 different companies the choice to offer quotes. She told me the P. got angry with her and called her irritating (he's not wrong).

This morning I taught alone because she had a meeting with the P. and the head of admin. about those renovations.

She said her husband wanted to come into school to have it out with the P. and VP. She also said she may quit in March.

She said she realized by being bad towards me, meant I would reciprocate it with the same attitude.

She stated she felt her presence was bad for her, the students and myself.

That's why she is thinking about quitting in March.

I know my perception is right most of the time.

Reading this post is kind of like having a stranger walk up to me on the street and start answering a question that I didn't ask.

You know, it's pretty rare it is in this country for someone to apologize. Eating crow is perhaps one of the hardest things to do in life for many people regardless of where you live.

How did you enjoy the brocolli at the buffet? The custard at Usmania is really nice.

I don't think having groups of obvious GEPIK'rs outside shouting about getting drunk and swilling that p1ss poor excuse for beer helps out image as well.

Maybe I'm just a party pooper.

Well that wasn't the last of it.
Her mother also wanted some and I couldn't get any more.

Then I skipped the first day of orientation
and bragged about it on the internet.

EDIT: Grammer check

turns out she was/is a head case. she'd probably be more comfortable working in a place without foreigners.....maybe a nail salon or one of those ajossi bars. Is she a hottie?

I understand that they want us to enjoy ourselves at the day but bunking off to drink carbonated p1ss and bragging about it doesn't really say much for the mentality of most of those people.

I'd be careful cbclark4, I mean bragging about missing the first day of orientation, that would be very unwise and foolish.

Thankfully, I've never done that myself, but a bad friend of mine once played a trick on me, pretending to be me on this forum. It's a good job I've clarified that I had nothing to do with that, and as a committed GEPIK employee I would never dream of missing an orientation, let alone brag about it on the internet.

Thank you everybody for leaving comments totally unrelated to the OP Laughing

Oh dear....ahem ahem
