    Truly amazing the self-entitled flotsam and jetsam that wash up on the shores of Asia and enter the 'teaching' profession.

    ^ Indeed. Some cannot even tell the difference between "peek" and "peak". Can you believe that ?

    Problem is it's the profession of a nineteen year old plasterer.

    Mwahaha - guess my idiotic/arrogant/childish letter failed me miserably. They not only agreed to all my requests, but have thrown in an apartment in the French Concession, 15 extra days annual leave, and a substantial increase in my travel allowance.

    I'm so fucking terrible I think I'm going to get me a lawyer wifey. Nah, fuck that, too many vixens to play with in Shanghai.

    Ah, life took a sweet turn. Because I stood up for myself. Much like I'm telling you, KW and PH, to fuck off. Put me on ignore. Do you even have jobs?

    Doubt kunts like yourselves would last six months in China. Oh, yes, my assistants, co-workers and students do like me. Glowing reports coming in from all.

    Baas is South African - it does not explain everything but it goes a long way!

    Bet it works as well as the the wombat's ignore function.

    Look if your letter worked, and worked for the long term, then good luck to you. But you initially asked was it professional and several different people, with different back grounds replied no. Just because it initially appears to have worked does not change that assessment. I would watch my back if I were you. Particularly since this is a company that has already once promised you one thing and delivered another regarding you salary. What's to say that the latest offers of salary and additional holidays are going to be delivered exactly as you expect?

    Ah, sweet, seven day paid holiday starting this evening. Beers down at the pub/s with the boys in the French Concession hood (The Camel Puxi | The Camel), and some skirt chasing.

    Mighty fine to not have a lawyer wifey shackling me down.

    Beers, bros and babes. Life's tough.

    Seems like Willy Wonker and Mad Hatter have been going off - can't see their messages though.

    Four replies/rants from the Mad Hatter and three from Willy Wonker. The fuckers must be foaming at the mouth, all the more so knowing I can't see whatever bumfluff they're spewing..

    I would take a break, see a little of XXX. Then take one of the many alternative backup jobs you have been offered. I also suggest that you clarify you hours, payment amount and date of payment, responsibilities etc prior to signing any contract and prior to staring work.

    Pass all documentation around your family to gain their acceptance first. Secondly come back here and ensure everybody agrees with your new "contract".

    Lastly take the nappie off, stand up straight, click your heels together and go bake to Kansas or wherever you originate from.

    Suggestions please.

    It's important to share these phantasies - err - facts with others.

    Seriously, has smeg moved to China and finally found a job?
