Resignation

Hello all,

I thought I would put another entry on this site to let you know all my latest news. Well the last couple of weeks have been quite traumatic here in Thailand. I officially gave 2 months notice to leave my school here and return to Europe. I wrote a letter to the Head of English, the Assistant School Director and the Director himself. I got this traslated into Thai to make sure that it was fully understood!

When I gave it to the HoE he was quite on form with his emotional blackmail tactics to get me to stay. It was very hard not to breeak and take the letter back! When I told the Thai English teachers they also piled on the blackmail, one of them even crying. It was really really hard. I have been through a few tissues :-)

Well, I managed to stay 'focussed' on the big picture and kept the resignation in. I have been up to Bangkok and booked a flight home. I leave Thailand on 2nd of August, arriving in Paris on the 3rd. I will then have time to catch up with my family and some friends that are coming out to visit there before moving on to work in pastures new.

The thought of leaving Thailand is quite daunting.. It will be almost 2 1/2 years since I arrived by the time I leave and I have made lots of friends. My house will be a hassle. I had to furnish it myself as Thai houses do not come furnished here. This means that I have to get rid of a
whole house of furniture!! eek!

Well I am going to dash now - The pest man has just been round to spray my house and it stinks- I need fresh air!!!

I will try to put a couple more photos on the site too.

I hope everyone is well - and I will be seeing some of you soon!!!

Wow, so you are leaving! That will bring a big change. People will be sad to see you go and others happy to see you home! Hope everything goes well on your move! Take care!
