Have you ever arrived in a new town for a new job and after a brief honeymoon period realised that the job doesn't really suit you?
I think I might leave whilst I've still got a tourist visa in my passport.

Poopy. Are you considering a new city or a new country?

...a new city or a new country? A new city, preferably not far from where I am now, is a possibility. But to be honest my thoughts are leaning towards a return to the old country. It has been one of those days. |

Yes Pickens that happened to me. Contract hadn't even started yet . But they say if I leave they will make me miserable and I believe it. So I will have to deal with it for 4 months. Outta here then no matter what they say.
Walking down the street today they had footie shirts for 20 Y. And they have Engerland--woo-hoo ready for 2006. Sorry to get off topic there.

I've got it right now and there wasn't even a honeymoon.
Here, they have a nice city and the school seems to have a good setup, but... they just don't love me and I'm bored. Long story short: I've decided I can and should go to Xi'an in 2005 so getting myself worked out here doesn't hurt so much. Conveniently, they've been really slow about drawing up a contract.
This is going to be my fourth job in a row where I go for a six-month contract. Something is going wrong somewhere.

I came to this small town near Suzhou for Chinese classes in the summer and that part was OK. But I decided I didnt like it here and wanted to go to Shanghai. The FAO said no they cant find a new teacher and so on. My mistake (I should know better by now) is I should have TOLD her I was going rather than asked.
Now they are getting my docs so it is too late. So I will stay but not care. If the FAO dares say a negative word to me I will say I dont want to be here ---she was just too lazy to find a new teacher. Not an ideal situation. I'm hoping my classes are pleasant-if not I might go nuts.
