here's the story:
i got my diploma.
i worked for 3 years.
i studied and got my MA.
i worked for 1 year, freelance.
i applied to teach, degree.
they offered me to teach, diploma.
they didn't recognise my MA.
they didn't pay me extra for work experience because it's freelance, they said.
i appealed.
twice.
they replied.
twice.
same answer; one email, one snail mail.
sigh.
i took the offer to teach, diploma.
57% pay cut.
two years at NIE.
diploma in art teaching.
i was the best student.
distinction in practicums.
they gave me a piece of gold medal.
that does nothing.
i have my posting.
i have a fantastic boss.
i have wonderful friends at work.
1 year later, my friend was promoted.
i was not.
they said i did not have a NAFA diploma.
what the ^&%$%@&^*!@#!!!!!????
my boss was shocked.
i have to send in all my papers. again.
2 years later, they named me art coordinator.
i do the job, same pay.
2 and a half years later, not even 2k.
2 and a half years later, no promotion.
feedback to dd. useless.
my bosses wrote letters. no reply.
i am still here, for my boss, for my kids.
9 more months to go.
yesterday they told me i would be promoted in october,
3 months after my bond. oh really?!
whatever for?
i stayed, for my kids.
they are growing this year,
they can fend for themselves next year.
i am contended.
i can leave with relief.
i can't wait.
to
leave.
