I should consider myself lucky..Why one may ask? Well I have 4 hours a day which is truly considered part-time but I get paid for a full day. I don't care about that I just want to focus on my teaching so I am going to try to put things into perspective.
Today is Wednesday and my lucky day is that I get to venture out to Shinjae Elementary near Centum City. I only teach at this school once a week. This school has had its schedule change on me just like Anmin but the rational has been different. While working at Anmin I have seen my schedule go from 1 to 5 to a morning schedule (one week) back to 1 to 5 and now 2 to 6 for the past month. At Shinjae I worked from 12:50-4:40 I have had a snow day, a 2 week vacation, and now for the last 2 times I have taught an extra hour until 5:30.
I like it at Shinjae. The kids are terrible. They are a disrespectful lot and they can get away with it because their parents force them to go there. Today there were parents wandering the halls for some god awful reason. I hate parents they think their kids are angels on earth and its a a sickening attitude that really needs to be changed. When I was a kid if I did something wrong my parents punished me accordingly.
Today a rumor is going around that I am going to be shipped out because my agency wants to reschedule. Well Damn you Miss. Kim. I wanted you to find a solution at my school at Yeon-san. I have 2 Korean teachers who gossip, try to be the boss, and don't do to much. Their school is a little too lax. While they give me some benefits its not enough. I have a program at Shinjae that isn't so bad but nobody seems to ask for my input. The latest is that the Koreans in Yeon-san inquire about my job in Shinjae and heard news before I did about my future.
I am really tired of this program. Bottom line is that I don't care about my hours, pay or school. I care about my wife number 1. And myself #2. I would rather work a desk job and get almost the same amount of pay. Morality and honor are more valuable to me than all the money in the world.
If I quit Shinjae I would really like to come private teach there and make some additional money. I am hoping that a new job will find me as soon as possible.
The biggest goal about being a full time part timer is that I can write my book, go to school and relax most of the time while making some extra money on the side. I am praying a new job will find me as soon as poosible.
Anyone want to bet my co-worker will be the biggest bitch tomorrow?
