Grrrr. I found out my new timetable for April onwards today, and needless to say it left me in a rage. But I want to know how bad other people think it is, as- like I say- I have been overtaken with rage. So much so that I'm not even happy my Blues Football Manager team are 6 points clear at the top of the Championship after less than 10 games.
Monday- 9-5 at Shonan , teaching 9am-10.40am
Tuesday- 1-8 at Seishi, teaching as yet unspecified but probably 1hr30mins in evening
Wednesday- 1-8 at Seishi, same as Tuesday
Thursday 9-5 at Shonan, teaching 1.10pm-2.50pm
Friday 1-9 at Shonan , teaching 4.30-6, and 7.30-9
Its that last, horrible line. It means EVERY FRIDAY I wont be able to get to a beer-serving venue (otherwise known as a "pub" to you and me) until 10pm (Okayama), or 10.30pm (Kurashiki). And I won't be able to leave early for weekends outside Okayama-ken. I only have to teach at 9am on Mondays, and I get Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday lie ins till 11am, which I obviously appreciate. But come on!! 9pm on a Friday!!! No fair, no fair. If it was at Seishi I'd at least be where some of the action is. But working at Shonan till 9pm means I'm stuck in Kojima the one night I don't want to be...
Some say I live a life of indulgence and excess whilst doing little real work. I partly agree, yet feel both my indulgence and excess are being significantly curtailed by not being able to go out on Fridays (unless I stay out all night, hmmm).
What do you think?

I have to add that since this post, Gentleman Ono Sensei has texted me, ironically referring to me as an "English gentleman" for taking bad news well. Which has made me feel rather rash and silly being so angered. The schedule is for the whole school, and I can hardly expect people to change things round just for me. Plus if less than 5 students take the 7.30pm class, it'll be cancelled (maybe 50/50 chance), meaning I finish at 5.30.
So it's not all bad.
