| My life as a working hobo! |
OMG It's really happenning!Well, yesterday I signed my contract to work in RAK. I still can't quite believe I'm moving to the Middle East.However, life here at Faulty Towers is not fun.... staff are becoming more and more divided each day and its just not a pleasant atmosphere to work in. When I think back to the last year here its been nothing but one mad management decision after another and every time we think it can't get any worse it does. Weather here is nicer today after 3 days of rain.... guess that's a problem I wont really have next year :-) Bought packaging tape yesterday to start the packing process, and landlord is coming to see me and Kath on Monday as she's hoping to move into my place. Boxes need dragging out from under the bed and stuck together as boxes instead of flat card! Oh the joy this will be my 4th move in just over 1 year! Mam seems to be coming round to the idea of my move and was singing the praises of Dubai after chatting to an air stewardess. Haven't had the heart to remind her I'll be living outside of Dubai in a much quieter place, but hey maybe I will just let her see that for herself when she visits. Really loosing the motivation to do much here at Faulty Towers...... I just keep counting the days till I leave..... 25 working days but with trip week and sports day and a half day final day its only...........................\ ...................................................18 1/2 teaching days and of course the last week of term is all chill down anyway so really I'm looking at another 13 normal teaching days. Which isn't long really but in the current climate of Faulty Towers that seems like a life time. At the same time I'm looking at 9 weeks till I fly to RAK! 9 weeks in terms of moving country feels like no time at all but at the same time seems ages when your exicited! So much to do before then but at the same time I wish I was off tomorrow! 20minutes till lunch time...... yeah an escape from the depressive atmosphere for a while! I just can't believe how much life here has changed it was such a happy place in Sept..... then things gradually went down hill after that...... major downfall was John resigning.... he's the best chance this place had of ever being a successful Secondary! VISA application thankfully is being dealt with mostly by the school, but the amount of paperwork that has to be sent and I have to go to the hassle of solicitors, foreign office and embassy to get my certificates attested is mad! From the sounds of things its also going to cost a packet! Anyway, I'm going to go and dream of the sun and sand of RAK! It certainly helps you keep going when you have something to look forward to. 11:35 - Friday 12 June 2009
