It's like pulling petals out of a flower, one by one.
I'm fired, I'm fired not. I'm fired, I'm fired not.
Right now:
I'm fired not. Not yet, anyway.
The background situation to me almost being fired just now is hard to explain, but to put it simply, my current mentor has got upset during the past few weeks at my behaviour and told the principal of Pat's Bunnyhouse that she did not want to be my mentor anymore. I found this out on Monday afternoon, and was told the principal would be going to see the boss of all the Pat's kindergartens to tell her what my mentor said, tomorrow. Which means Tuesday, yesterday. She wouldn't be coming to work that day, so I had to wait until today to find out my fate. I was convinced I'd be fired, given previous experiences with the head boss.
I met with the principal and my mentor at 1pm today, Wednesday.
The principal told me that this is the deal for the moment:
Since I have a holiday allowance of two days per month, from January through July that is 7x2 = 14 days. I have, so far, used three. What's happening now is that I'm having a break, the bosses are making me take the remaining 11 days off, starting right now. In addition, I had approximately 2.5 hours of overtime left, and they made me take those off for this afternoon, therefore I left work at 1:30 and came here, to the library, to write this.
Taking the next 11 working days off, I would theoretically have to return to work on Friday, 7th of August.
I am to expect contact from the boss before that date, probably via a letter. She will tell me what's happening from here. If I do not receive anything from her, I come to work on that day as would be normal.
So, basically, even if I still get fired, it won't for a while longer, and for that time I'm allowed to live in my apartment, and I even get pocket money and money for meals as usual! It's just like me being fired immediately (cause I don't have to work), but I'm allowed to use some of my holiday that I didn't use up in the previous six and a bit months, and stay in the apartment, before being kicked out into the world of the European backpacker - spending more money and finding accomodation, etc.
So, it seems I'm staying put for the next few weeks at least! This is about all I can say at this stage.
To the people I wrote a message to: yeah, this blog is quite similar to the message. But oh well. Maybe some others who didn't get a message will read this, plus I can't really write as much as I wrote in the message here, cause I'm not really allowed to.
If you're reading this on Facebook, please check out the site it comes from, www.patrickneasey.blogspot.com, it looks nicer for one thing.
Good afternoon,
Patrick
