OMFG. So close to rage quitting this day.
In addition to my headaches getting electricity, I'm having other Chinese bureaucracy shit to deal with.
I'd booked my class into a computer lab so they can work on a presentation (they're researching a topic and making a PPT on their findings) when, ten minutes into the class, one of my non English speaking colleagues thrust a phone into my hand.
"The lab is need for the IELTS listening test testing. You have to leave"
"But I've booked the lab. If it were unavailable, it should have said so"
"No. No. You can teach this lesson in the class"
"Well... no. They need internet access and PowerPoint access..."
"In the class"
Sure, fine. Teaching is all improvisation anyway. You certainly don't need a f**king plan when you go into a classroom for two years. You just flick the 'educate' switch and off you go.
f**king. Chinas.
