Hey everyone, as I mentioned in my previous post regarding my 'breakthrough' and all the mess that came with to finally go AF...I was really really proud of myself...and still am. I mentioned about how great my boss was, but hey, when your in Asia, that deadly wicked smile and comfort can only mean one thing, they're not with you!!!!!! (please don't get me wrong, I don't mean this about all Asians, only nasty English academy owners!!!)
So, after two regular days off, much needed for my first 48hours, I was prepared to go in and conquer another 24...and still will, just waiting to be finished to take some valium and calm myself......
well going into work today, payday, I have ZERO medical coverage because the tight wad will not pay out (even though legally entitled to it...but hey, why not give someone a chance...that is my real problem, giving too many chances and getting screwed royally!!!)
In any case, after having missed two morning classes, only to return to work later to complete my day on Saturday, after having gone through the biggest mental break down of my life....I return today, proud of my accomplishment, not needing any unnecessary stress.........well here it is, a foreigner, at the mercy of greedy, ignorant employers.....she thought it would be a 'great' idea to keep $400 of my money, just in case, as a deposit to make sure I will not get sick again. Upon telling her we are entitled to sick days by law, she ignorantly claimed she did not know, and she wasn't going to keep it, just hold onto it until I finish my contract, in two months from now (which would then mean, any excuse to keep it is what will happen!).
Sorry to rant, I just really needed to get this off my chest!!! Also, I need someone to please say 'hey its okay....just be more careful who you trust next time'.........you know, I am angriest because that was the weekest point I have ever been in (in front of anyone), I wept and wept and wept some more. I was so broken I was actually like a baby who could not catch their breath! I don't feel sadness, embarrassment or shame, I am glad I did what I did because now I'm at 60 hours!!
But I do feel a lot of anger towards this woman......can't wait to take a diazepam and go to bed...or better yet, take a diazepam and hang on the beach...will be nice to have the nerves calm again!!! Ugh, that felt better!!! Thanks for the eyes and hopefully a trusting shoulder

Okay, kidding. I would be pissed too! I would either go to bed early or beat the pillow or both. This too shall pass, I hate liars and especially when one is in a compromised situation such as in a foreign country. Karma will win over and she will get hers. :bat Hang in there Hon
