So we have taken the job in Ansan!! Hurrah!!
Got the contract a few days ago, had a good look through and it seems good. Reasonable pay, and all the norms you would expect.
Had a little look on Dave’s ESL Cafe at the contracts up there and there was none of the strange clauses in it such as “This contract is final as well as anything else that is decided outside of the contract”…Hmm…..
So we should get a couple apartment, which is good. My start date is 18th December and Rich is starting on 10th Jan, but we are flying out together. Very exciting but we have alot, and I mean ALOT, of stuff to do.
So today we went through the hassle of posting our documents. After printing and taking copies of everything, we packed it up. We gave FedEx a call and they said yes they would come and collect it. However we needed to take some passport photos so we went into town.
Got the photos done and suprisingly, they looked OK! I rang FedEx back and they said “Sorry you’ve missed the collection time, it was 12.50pm”. It was 12.52. No shit. So we said nuh-uh to them.
We called DHL and they said the same thing, but the nearest office to us was nearby so we drove over there. It was actually OK seeing as on the phone they said it would be £54. It was only £28.99 – bargain. Well NOT a bargain but better than what we expected. Also while we were in the office, we heard the guys in the back office F-ing and blinding, very amusing. The guy at the counter apologised, but we just laughed. Turns out the office manager wasn’t in…ah-ha!
So we sent off our documents and contract and that was it. Bit of an anti-climax really. We were hungry and went to Wetherspoons for a gourmet burger, which was yummy and big. But I am still stuffed now.
Off to Teesside tomorrow for Rich’s graduation, woo. Should be fun and looking to get Lapland Bunting on my lifelist, if we can find one. Should be some good birds about what with the wind so looking forward to that. And wearing my new coat, mmmm!! What an exciting life I lead….
Vic is listening to Abba…Supappa, troopapa! I don’t even need to type what Rich is doing. Oblivion.
