Day 498: Melting

Work conditions have been really shite all week long at school. We found out that our air conditioners are leaking and causing a mess on floors below us, so we had to have them off all week long for repair. I don't know why it takes so fucking long to fix them, but they've been out of commission for forever it feels. And what a week to have no aircon. It's been SO BLOODY HOT AND HUMID, you can't even imagine how disgusting the weather is right now.

Our classrooms get so hot it's like trying to teach in an inferno. The kids are whining all day, the teachers are bitchy, everyone's literally dripping in sweat, the school reeks, everyone's cranky and irritable...it's not a very pleasant environment at all. And it can't be healthy to work in such extreme heat. Standing on your feet all day in ridiculous heat...yeah, that's so not my idea of fun! This is a country where you NEED aircon in the summer time. I feel like I'm working in a third world country this week! This is Korea, not Sudan for christ's sake!

Ugh. To quote the Wicked Witch Of The West, "I'm melting...."
