Voice of Will: Still in the Air

2006-05-11 - 9:23 a.m.
So 2 weeks ago we were told to get lost from SIAS. WE have written about 6 letters (together) to cindy and cheryl.

Cindy wrote us back yesterday with a very indifferent statement, "so what are you and will going to do"
and finally today Cheryl told Christine they want to renew her contract. What is it with people there? We are 6822 miles away from home, with 3 kids, visa's that expire on June 15th, and as far as we know, no jobs. And we are left twisting in the wind for 2 weeks, and Cindy is completely unreliable, and also appears to not CARE. Maybe 2 weeks isn't that big of a deal sitting in an office in Kansas where you can call the people you need to talk to, but to us here it is a world of difference. What the h* are these people doing all day? Sitting around, saying "up we are making a difference" and playing darts?

I understand that it is graduation there. Ok. Does it take more than 5 minutes to write a reply of, "we know what is going on and are working on it." Or, "we have decided not to renew your contract." Either one allows us to actually try to plan for the summer and beyond.

As of now we have been scrambling like mad to find ANYTHING because of the shitty timing of SIAS. Here lets wait until May and let them know they aren't welcome back. Wait until they can't find the "good" jobs, and have to scramble here. We have made a HOME in this place, we have teachers for the kids, activities lined up, and now with cr*y notice we have what feels like NO Support from Hays.

Right now I'm trying to contact UIBE and see if I can be the cinema CT there (if japan doesn't happen, or even if it does and we decide to stay in China).

Anywho, I'm off like a half cocked gun/prom dress to do other things, offend other people and generally make myself a pain in the rear.
