we Rants, Thoughts and Adventures: My first grey hair

Things that I write in here are my thoughts, rants and experiences. If you take offense to anything read.. please let me know.. or just realize that I may not mean things the way they come across.. and if I do.. well it is a journal to vent my thoughts and expressions... so please take things lightly... though I will try to keep the bitching about others to a minimum... as there is enough bad karma in this world.. and I no longer want to add to that

My first grey hair

So Paula found my first grey hair (though it was more white than grey) yesterday. I made her pull it out though... I know... now I'll get 4 more to replace it. Though I think it is more from stress than age... things with the new school have been a bit frustrating to say the least.
Because of the amount of rain, the construction on the school has been delayed by 4 weeks... so they aren't going to open the new school until September (which means we are still at SEV next month and who knows when we are moving).
We had contract negotiations on Monday and well... it felt more like it was a raising voice match then anything... I spent almost an hour with J, then needed to ask for 24 hours to just cool down. It wasn't anything with the contract really... it was more the confusion that was going on regarding the new school.
Paula was next and she spent almost 2 hours in the room talking to J. Because of the language barrier, I don't think (or now know) that J really had no idea why I was upset... but once Paula (who can speak Korean fluently) went into the negotiating room... she was clearly able to express what was wrong. We were more upset with the lack and miscommunication we were getting.
In the end, J was able to explain a lot of things and promised to look into others. To his credit though, I think he did not know of the problems we were experiencing and is going to make an effort to help us.
In the end, we both signed the new ammended contract... and in Septemeber we will again negotiate for new terms in a brand new contract.
Overall, I am feeling a lot better. Jason made us promise that if we have any further issues or problems we need to tell him or JW immediately, so that they don't fester or get any bigger.
I think that everything worked out how it was supposed to.
Cheers!
