jdmkleinWe have company tonight and tomorrow night. M is leaving Kuwait and will be staying with us until we take her to the airport on Thursday morning. It will be kind of fun to have company on the one hand. On the other it will be the first time we have had a third party in our lives. i'm working very hard to keep our life on an even keel, but it's a bit difficult. Oh well, i will consider this a test and hope i pass.
i had to write a letter of warning today. i don't feel badly about doing it. But i couldn't get it finished before she left, so I took the chicken's way out and put the reprimand in her mail box. She will be in the office tomorrow, i wasn't planning on going in, but i suspect i must for damage control. i think she will throw a hissy fit and then a tantrum. She knows she is in trouble, but she won't do anything about it. She refuses to go see a doc for the depression, she can't even talk without tears. She is always late with grades and is making us look bad at the FoM. That is something we don't need. They are in so much worse shape than we are, we don't need to give them any opportunity to point fingers at us. Everyone but C is doing the best they can with the claptrap they have to work with. She just doesn't give a shit.
i hope to be able to talk with the VDAA tomorrow. i keep getting a feeling of dread when i think of going to Jabriya.Even if we don't have to teach FoM courses, just being in that mad house will be enough to bring all of us down. Today i spoke with the chairman of the nursing dept. i asked her if she would put a good word in for me with the Public Health Authority. They will be taking over the baccalaureat degree nursing program. Maybe they will be needing English teachers. Maybe Dr. W will put in a good word for me? She said she would be very happy to do so. i will be willing to do any consultative work to help them get the English curriculum going. That should give me an entree into their program.
i can't go to FoM and if i don't go there i will have to leave Kuwait, and Master and that is unthinkable. Of course Master can always get a job in Bosnia or Uzbakistan. Yea, just what we need, to move into an even more unstable area.
