As I am in charge of ESL academic section, I am the host of the speech contest. During this week, we finally finished the semifinal. I have to say that sometimes honesty and being brave to SAY NO are critical. I am exhausted. I had to sub, cover the people who are complaining and “too busy”, and serve coffee to colleges… I hosted the speech contest from period 4 to period 9 and had my class for period 10. This means, I literally worked from period 4 to period 10. It was 8 periods in total. (He promised me the same situation would NOT happen again, but…see?)

I was willing to renew my contract with the school with only one request that I would like to purely teach but not work as an admin teacher. However, the CEO strongly disagreed with my thoughts and I felt disrespected. No one talked to me privately, but she just publically mentioned it to me and refused my request in front of other people. Also, all my ex-bosses expressed concern and talked with me when a similar situation happened. He, or They, did NOTHING at all. Now, although I barely can’t find any teaching jobs around here, I still choose NOT to renew the contract. Honestly, I don’t know where to go, but I am sure if I renew the contract, I can’t fulfill it for a year, so I will be fined or sued.

Touture:

• People always find excuses and those who did so can skip their jobs all the time. (濫好人，慣壞懶人們）
• Always being the backup （備胎）
• Does Admin overweigh teaching （我懷疑，我是老師嗎？還是跟以前一樣是職員，矮老師一截？為什麼我要拜託她們？雜事一堆）
• Exhaust and emotional damage （操到爆，身心俱疲，沒體力正常生活）
• Not being treated as a teacher but as an assistant （我是助理還是老師？）
• cannot find the balance between work and life （工作生活不平衡）
• I am always the busiest person in the office. Others can sleep, read leaisure books, chat, message, and punch out at 5:03 pm. （勞逸不均，我操到累死，有人閒到睡覺）
