Just Curious.............

Cheer up, we have to sign in AND out every day. And, no classes for all of March, April and May. Solitaire gets really boring on the office computer.

The answer to "why?" It's form without substance, a common feature of Thai culture.

...and possibly, motivation to move on and into a more dignified environment???

Exactly! Done!

My last working day of last term was the 19th March. I signed in, finished what I had to do, said goodbye to the powers that be and asked when I should return. 5th of May was the answer, a week before the students.

I got paid in full for that holiday. So as many people have stated, there are better places out there. Go find them.
