I can't sleep. . . because I feel bad now. Today was an okay day at work until the very end, I was in a descent mood and wasn't too tired. I even bought some more Christmas cards tonight to send out tomorrow. But tonight after work outside where we say good-bye to our other co-workers, not Charlie because he stays up and cleans for a while. Anyway, we were downstairs waiting and it comes out the one Korean girl teacher wasn't coming down right away because she is telling Charlie she is quitting at the end of this month. Pretty much she is working on her master's to be an English teacher and she is supposed to get paid more, but Charlie is a sexist pretty much and isn't giving it to her. On top of all the stress on the Korean teachers right now with the drop out rate and money issues I think. Anyway, so I was down there with the girl from Canada and the other young Korean guy, the main Korean teacher. He told the Canadian girl that he might quit to if things don't change. I heard this and said "I hate you!" He started laughing just kind of joking but then I don't know why I stormed off and left them and walked hom without the Canadian girl! The Canadian girl is also leaving you know at the end of this month to go home, so if everyone quits basically I'll be the only one that has been there for a while (all of 3 months), so I was a little bit in shock and kind of angry. The Canadian girl texted me and was like "what was your problem? We didn't expect that from her?" So I apologized to her tonight and will have to apologize to the guy tomorrow at work for being unprofessional and disrespectful to me. Even though the "I hate you!" thing wasn't really serious and he knew that I still feel bad and have to apologize. I understand everyone is under a lot of stress, but how does that make me feel. I will basically have to get to know all these new Korean teachers he hires if he has to and kind of train the new American girl that comes and hope I get along with all of them! I know this is normal, but on top of just the normal stress and business at work I don't really need that. I am sorry - I don't want to complain, but this is crazy!
