Sayonara Manager???

Earlier tonight I got together with a few other Japanese teachers and some native English teachers from different schools resulting in a nice night out. On Friday my favourtite Japanese teacher came into my room with perhaps the most exciting work related news ever. She snuck in and asked me if she could borrow something, but then whispered to me that my manager is leaving at the end of December. I didn't know how to react but a part of me was overcome with disbelief. My current manager and I never really saw eye to eye and at times it's very difficult to be working in the same building as her. However, I've felt over the past month or so things have gone a lot better between us both. There were rumours that she was leaving at the end of February to another new school, but it seems now that date has been changed to the end of December.


Here's a picture of my coolest Japanese English teacher Yukiko and I. Since day one she's been the easiest person to talk to and we often talk and hang out after work. She spent some time in Toronto working and learning English so we actually have a lot in common. The days at work where I just feel like beating my head against a wall or whiteboard, she's been there for me to keep me grounded to reality. By far the coolest co-worker ever!
