Finally some good news in just testing

Well the associate director is gone. She left on Friday. So now on Monday the director in education curriculum person cornered me to ask me how I was feeling about everything.

I told them that it’s got me very Doom and Gloom. And I’m wondering when it’s my turn to go and how much notice I’m going to get in if they suggested I start looking for work now.

They told me… Which is different than what the associate director told me… That the franchise owner does not want to sell the school. But he’s in so much financial trouble he had to get rid of the associate director just to meet bills.

It sucks for her but because she was in the middle she was the first to go. I also think the franchise owner didn’t like her very much but that’s neither here nor there now.

Either way they tell me that my job is safe at least till December. December is when the franchise owner decides if he’s going to keep the school or sell it. If he sells it there’s no guarantee that I would keep my job it would be up to the next franchise owner.

Also Changing Hands in the business doesn’t happen overnight so he’d have to find someone to sell it to and it would be months before the Handover was complete.

This makes me feel a lot better because I thought my time to go it’s just around the corner and it turns out it’s not. I’m still looking for another job… Well actually my computer screen is broken right now so when my computer screen starts working again or we get a new one I’ll continue the job search… But I’m hoping that I get a good raise and I can stay.

I know I hate the kitchen and some other parts of my job and that’s what made me want to leave before I even knew the school was close to closing. But I guess I’m just stuck in my routine even the kitchen is becoming routine and I rather just stay put. Keep my seniority. Keep my vacation days.

They will probably fire the evening receptionist to cut costs but also they don’t like her. She’s late all the time she doesn’t wear the school shirt Incheon no one tries to go above and beyond the minimum that she can get away with.

She actually has her own life coach business and was just looking for this as something on the side but she’s not really present when she’s here.

I don’t like her either for my own personal reasons so I don’t care if she goes but then they might switch my hours to open and close the school with a long lunch in between. That’s the only way they wouldn’t need a morning and evening receptionist. I would just do both and hopefully the Rays I get will cover the extra gas and going back and forth everyday and I would get to see will every afternoon. Instead of having dinner together we didn’t leave just have lunch together every day and then have the weekend.

I had such a sense of dread… Since the summer started. They’ve given me some hope and put me in a better mood but I hope they aren’t just blowing smoke to keep me around until the school fails.

If a job came through with amazing pay or better commute or both, I would leave the school because I probably should be moving on to something with more pay but I’m so comfortable where I’m at but I kind of hope the situation improves so I can stay.

I’m not going to stop looking for a new job because this place is so unstable right now. I can only hope this situation gets better. Or that something amazing comes along that makes me comfortable to leave this place.

I don’t know if I’m being loyal or lazy or stupid or all three and more. Pays more important than anything right now. But the school’s feeling and I know that they can’t give much. But on the other hand no job is beating down my door to hire me either. I just feel stuck.

I’ve never needed a vacation more then I do right now. My trip to Bermuda is less than 2 weeks away. And I don’t care if it rains everyday of the week. If I don’t have to get up at 5 a.m. to make muffins for 100 kids it’ll be a blessing.
