S and I have planned to go to Greece and then to India for a vacation. Accordingly I will be on leave for 3 weeks.
Yesterday I went to Mz to discuss this issue. She suggested that I could use my overtime for Christmas Play for my leave days. She said she would talk about this to Stf and see what she says.
When I went in today to talk to her she had a completely different air.
"Yes, I talked to Stf and she has said this is impossible. You child is studying here for free and you must regard this as extra payment towards you and forget about Christmas play. I mean, either you should start paying for your child or forget about Christmas Play. If you want you can further talk to Stf herself."
I went in to talk to Stf. She wasn't in but Tm was. He started saying the same thing albeit in extremely polite and gentle tones.
" I am ready to forget about Christmas Play; in fact I had already forgotten it but now that this subject has been raised I will tell you somethings. I have more than 94 hours of unpaid overtime; while every person over here is allowed half a day off for every 5 hours of overtime I am not being allowed a single day off for 94 hours. Moreover, I am being told I should that I should forget about Christmas Play when we all know that that Christmas play did so much for school's reputation and happiness. And I spent so much of my own money on it. "
" Please, don't feel bad. I will do everything I can for you. Tell me where and how did you spend your money?" He asked concernedly. " let's make a list of all the things that you bought for the play or spent your money on and I will pay you immediately."
" I would hate to take my money if that displeases Stf or you. I can take it only if you give it willingly and happily without considering it like an annoying burden or something. I hope you convey this message to Stf."
So saying I came away, truly incensed and truly on fire. How mean they are, how very very mean. I hate the fact she every time stresses that H is studying here for free which I should regard as a great obligation and so remain under her feet for all my life.
