Rain and stress

Well, it's the weekend again, yay! This weekend and next, though, I'm going to be very good about not spending any extraneous money at all. Vacation starts on June 2nd, and that's before out next payday. So I must be very very good. *nods to self* So, Aimee and I are trying to think of cheap/free things to keep us busy over the weekend, like going to parks and cleaning our apartment. Heh. It's worth it to have money to spend on whatever we want in Kyoto.

Work has been a bit stressing. We have a new Japanese manager and she just criticizes everything, even things she knows nothing about. One of our newer teachers is getting all these complaints and stuff...I don't know how that's going to go. All I know is it's making me feel stressed and paranoid. I was having lunch at the same time as the AT today, and she opened up and told me about this stuff, so I decided to be honest with her and tell her that it wasn't just this one girl feeling stressed. Everyone is stressed out and dreads coming in, the AT included. It's ridiculous. We're a good school. We're tiny, and have tons of students, adults and kids. We do many demo lessons, get lots of new students...so why are we so stressed? Why are we getting scolded? I think part of it is the new manager, a big part of it. She really oversteps her bounds. Ah well. Only four months and one week. And two of those I won't be working! *cheers*

Sorry for the rant. Tomorrow, hopefully I'll have something to post. Maybe not enlightening, but at least amusing. Like dessert beans. Mm...dessert beans...
