They were shocked that we resisted, but they understand that I wouldn't come back if that was the schedule.
They got another foreign teacher from Jenny's school to take the class....(what kind of sucker is he? Or maybe he's getting paid extra I don't know. He's been here seven years, so maybe he has a different arrangement. Still, I can't see anyone in their right mind agreeing to that without significant compensation)
So I have to take his adult class that he was teaching. As it stands I'll be working an extra hour a couple times a week after my usual classes teaching adults...which is fine, because I work less than I am supposed to right now. I mean, nobody wants more hours for the same pay...but whatever.
The first thing they tried to make me do was a clear violation of my contract....in a different city, split shift, overtime.....
But this one is okay because I signed to teach up to 30hrs/wk...and now I will be working 28hrs or something instead of 24....so that is fine......

Hi Matt.
Glad to hear this situation resolving itself pretty well. It sounded pretty bleak for a while.
Betcha you're looking forward to having Bethany join you soon, eh?
Have a great weekend!
Yea, it's a relief for sure.
Yea, I'm uber pumped for Bethany to come....does AB know we're planning a special trip to the museum in her honour?
Hope you have a good weekend too!
..."a special trip to the museum in her honour..."?
The Hong Kong Museum of Natural History?
As I have heard it said, "Sweet like Marie, and all her friends"!!
I don't think she has any idea, and she'd be amazed and pleased and maybe proud...and she wouldn't want you guys to go to all that effort if it is going to spoil your trip, and and and Wow! That's pretty cool!
I think you'll be impressed, I was.
I've got 3 meatloaves and a mess of 'country style' pork ribs on the smoker tonight, gonna add the potatoes to bake alongside them... And I'm looking forward to introducing you to the pleasures of home-smoked meats! Maybe at Sea Edge?
See you soon!
Yea, um....she shouldn't feel guilty like it's her fault for the detour or something :)
Just we were trying to decide between Shanghai and Hong Kong for our final stop....and seeing her hard work was an important part of why we went for HongKong......
Thought she might like to know we were gonna go....
Are you trying to make me jealous with all the delicious food talk??
Haha. Can't wait. Looking forward to seeing you all soon :)
