still catching up

why am i so inconsistent at posting? 
i guess we all might be inconsistent at things we do

i think i was supposed to talk about an awful february?
i clearly missed all posts in march and april.
nothing too exciting there; just got to a new job and new town, but really close to where i was.
but i have to move back to where i was at the end of may.
oh, well. i like both places. my director just can't make up her mind as to exactly when i'm to move.

february was tough month.
mostly because of work.
my former boss was treating people like they were stray dogs, old and new teachers alike.
all the while, because she is literally in love with me (long story, if i haven't illustrated before), she treats me like a god. i try to be a good guy in my life so i sucks watching people get treated like crap and not be able to do anything about it. and to answer your question, no, there was nothing i could have done. the lady was/is on a power trip. we all know what happens when a korean goes on a power trip! and she thinks her position grants her automatic legitimacy.

i mean, the lady was trying to tell me where to work next. she said getting another job in the same part of town would be detrimental to parents' view upon the kindergarten and her. well, when i go back to butter her up for a future job reference, i'm going to let her know i'm working just down the street. ;)

also, my girlfriend left korea on 2-days notice, after living with me for 6 weeks in waiting of her new job to start after week 8. another emotional stress.

in february, i had a major problem with my ear. i woke up 1 morning and couldn't out of my right ear and i couldn't even sit up or stand. a trip to the ER and a follow-up 10 days later were required, as were $1300 from my pocket of which my private insurance company refunded only $300. i don't have private anymore; i'm mos def on nhs.

oh, yeah, i was also looking for a job. i don't know if it's because of my visa, but it was not very easy finding another job.

march and april, what can i say? new job is way too much work. none difficult, but just loads of grading. stupid corporate private academies. 

gosh. it all looks pretty bad in a compilation, doesn't it?
it's OK because i have some good news for the next post.

lots of love,

jo
