The documents came for our contract renewal the other week.
But saying that is a bit of a lie. We got an email, letting us know that the contracts would be coming and that "many changes" were in order.
Attachment:
Just over an hour after we had received that email, another one came…
Except we hadn't gotten our contract. We had nothing to look over. We just had word it was time to re-sign and a stack of items were due in one week.
One week isn't very much time to get all the needed paperwork together. It especially isn't a lot of time when that week is cut down to 4 days due to delays getting the actual contract out!
But as I have said many and many times before, Mrs. Jang is amazing and she pulled my paperwork together in no time and we got everything submitted by the deadline.*
Then it was just a waiting game. Waiting to see who would "pass" stage 1 of the renewal process.
Thankfully, the wait wasn't too long and I heard back today that I passed stage 1 and will be staying in Korea for another year! But don't pop the champagne just yet. I have two days, yes only two, to find time in my work schedule to have a medical done so that I can have the results back in time to submit for stage 2.
How things get done around here with timeframes and deadlines like these I have no idea! But I'm off first thing tomorrow morning to pee in a cup and do all that fun stuff.
Once the medical is in hand, I'll make the trip to the head office (12/10) to turn in all the hard copies and sign on the line.
Contractually binding me to my third year in Korea.
*Mrs. Jang filled out my paperwork so well that she earned our school a 1million won (just under $1,000) bonus! She is soooo amazing!!
