Everytime we have an English department meeting, it means I'm going to have a bad day. The English meetings are mostly in Chinese, and I feel like we have to beg to get some information in English. Doesn't make sense does it? It doesn't help that the head of our department is extremely unorganized, horrible at relaying information on to others, and speaks the worst English out of the three Taiwanese teachers. It just doesn't make sense that she is the leader. Natalie would make a much better leader. She is very considerate, actually wants us foreign teachers here, and is very good at relaying information on to others. That's just the beginning of my frustration.
Yesterday I found out that the brand new computer that I bought a few weeks ago is NOTHING like what I asked for. I didn't know how to find the specs on a computer, so I just figured I got what I asked for. Well, first of all, I was given a computer with Windows XP from 2002! 6 years old! I should have Vista. Also, all the memory is in the d: drive which is hard to access when the programs run on c: drive. I found all this out when I started getting messages that my computer was running out of memory. There is no way a 3 week old computer can run out of memory already. I don't download that much! Someone is going to get an earful once I can find someone to translate my frustrations. I don't think Mr. Huang will be able to...he might not understand everything I'm saying.
Finally...I was extremely frustrated that my bank card would not work at the atm. I was just taken to the bank in Puzih (40 minute drive) to get it squared away. I had to take the card to the bank to get it activated first...which I was never before told. Frustrating.
So I guess three months before having a bad day isn't all that bad. It's not the end of the world...tomorrow will be better!
There are some other issues that I have with friends or family...but I don't want to publish that because I'm not ready to discuss them with the people and wouldn't want to hurt them by putting that knowledge on a public blog.
