Don't worry- Just quoting Alannis ... isn't it ironic? I want to tell you the most ironic story that has every happened to me LOLLLL
Grammie: here's a message for you first!!! Me and Reffa have a mini hummingbird who visits our yard every single day- exactly like those ones that were in the magazine you showed me that time!! It's so tiny, I thought it was a big bug one day, but I looked closely and it is exactly like a hummingbird!! my current project is trying to capture a picture of the cute little thing for you to see it!!! maybe a video! :) love love love!! xoxoxoxox
as for work.... : :
reffa and I had this really important meeting to attend to at the school which we will both be working for come May right? So , we havne't really been working. just taking various vacations , and picking up random hours here and there to get us by on these months off. We didn't even know what the meeting was about, only that it was important and had a guest speaker from Bangkok coming. We thought, okay, maybe since we have to get up early we'll go to bed early for once! So we're just hanging out with Scott (a nightly thing now) and we're like okay night!!!
and we hop on our motorbike (yes, we can both easily fit on it), and drive home for the night, aruond 8:30 to relax and go to bed. When we get home, Scott calls and says, can you come back over? we have a problem.
So naturally we get back on the bike and scoot over to his house to see what's up. The lady who hires us to work for the school (the school doesn't hire us directly) is standing there with a 6 page thai document, and says "I need this done by tonight"
and we're like SHIT! She always does this... I'm sure we've mentioned her before? the lady who put our last official documents in the tree?? yeah that's her. so we have this last minute project to do , and I'm not sure if you've ever tried to translate thai to english before, but it's HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so it takes like hours and hours and hours. ughhhhh we knew we would be up late. so for three hours we translate .. and try to understand this pooor pooorrr half translation which was given to us. It's MORE difficult to translate thai if we're given a partial translation because we have to figure out what the hell it's trying to say?! ultimately it ended up being this 6 page official document which was to be properly written as a job description for foreign teachers teaching english. We weren't told what school it was for. we finally finish.. and the document is perfect. we head home at about 12:30am, and we have to get up early to go to this important meeting so we're kinda angry... but anyways we just suck it up and head home...
in the morning we get up (tired) and go to this 4 hour meeting at the school. the first thing we're given is a six page job description which we are instructed to read and understand because it's extremely important and we will be expected to sign our names acknowleging that we understand it's points and will abide by it....
LOLLLLL I wrote the damn thing!!! hahaha!!!!!
okay. anyways
we're going to visit our friends in phuket for 3 days tomorrow to solidify travel plans for april !!! :) yayy.
I miss home a lot :(
