Hello and Sawasdee Khrapadee,

 
                 The nightmare started last Sunday. Had to be back at school and sit in a weird meeting, where nobody knew what it was all about. Then the big news. The lady who always gives me my salary in cash tells me that there's a change. They really deducted 1 % of my 33 K salary for tax?

  I even had my wife with me that no language misunderstanding could occur. I've told them that I'm doing my annual ( now I call it anal, after their try to rip me off) tax office trip.

   The 2 Pinny's salary was already deducted and they're not even making enough money that they have to pay tax? I smelled a lot of dead rats and fish.

       I explained my situation that I'm not living there, the town only belongs to Sisaket, but they acted like the three Chinese monkeys. Okay, keep the money and shuffle it up your, you know what, but I couldn't say it to her, because she didn't try to do the rip-off.

  But at leat I could make an agreement with the lady to give her some copies of my tax papers to clarify my status. When I signed into the fingerprint scanner yesterday, the lady arrived and I gave her my documents.

   Short before I drove home today, the lady came to my let's call it office and gave me my money back, mumbling that there was a little mistake and wussh she was gone.

   Now I know that one fine gentleman from my school, who's a sort of involved ( has a relative at the little city hall in the little shitty town) was trying to make an extra 10 K a year by deducting money from us, we do not have to pay.

  So I did another good deed and helped the Pinnoys t get their money back, even knowing that both never paid tax before. That will see daylight end of March.

    
    I really wanted to quit my job, because I'm not a babysitter. I signed up for being a teacher and not a babysitter who's got very noisy and misbehaved grade one kiddies around all day long.

   And I teach another EP class, grade two alone. Nine hours grade one, three hours math, 3 hours science and three hours English for two classes is insane. 

    In addition, i have to teach two classes of ordinary grade six? I made the math and what the parents of the two EP classes pay, leaves a lot of money for the boss and his Sherpas. 

  The only positive change is that I don't have six hours of grade one and two kids in a roll.

 My new schedule is much cooler and I have two classes grade six on Monday afternoon, instead. Still six hours a day, but I only teach two in Tuesday and two on Wednesday. 

  To get to the point. They were really trying to rip me off by telling me that a new law would stimulate that I have to pay 1 % tax every month? It's not about the money now, please don't get me wrong. It's a principle. Don't let other people screw you, especially without a condom.......................

   It might look like a little mistake, but it seems that at least one head will be rolling soon. I'm pretty good in playing chess and now I'll try to get the parents on my side. The ones who pay the most money.

   I don't freaking care if I have to leave the school, where a greedy director doesn't even register the institution at the SS office. That on the other hand made me to a liar because I had to lie to the SS office that I'm not working to be able to continue with my insurance. And I already paid in for almost 11 years and 80 K are waiting for me to get picked up in cash.

    I could continue for hours, but enough for today. I hope that others are not experiencing the same problems. G'Day to all teaching and non-teaching mangoes.
