Many of my readers are aware that the school where Mel and I work has been experiencing financial difficulties. Earlier this week all the Korean staff was asked to resign or else they would not be paid the two months wages owed them. The Korean staff happily left, got paid, and many now have new jobs. The boss man also announced that the school will be closing at the end of the month leading to speculation that we would be coming home early. This has since changed. We have been paid and are currently planning to arrive home in mid-October as previously planned.
All of this has the end effect of making the school totally chaotic. We kind of need the Korean staff to run the place since we are just teachers and don't speak much Korean. The student/teacher ratio has doubled along with our work load. Certainly, enrollment will drop at the end of the month when parents re-sign their kids and the future of the school remains very uncertain.
At least we got paid and supposedly they paid our apartment rent.

Sounds a little stressful. Here's hoping it all goes alright for you. Have they already paid for your tickets home? Are you a little learly about your end of year bonus?
