grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So my old supervisor from last year, Inagaki-sensei, took off to have her baby. My school requested an experienced English teacher to take her place. Instead, we get Naka-sensei. A 31-year-old male with no teaching experience at all. He either stands in the back of the room, or leaves whenever we're supposed to teach *together*. However, he has no problem talking to me, or rather, asking me for favors.
Yesterday he asked me to teach a lesson today even though it wasn't scheduled. I was like uhh, ok. And he handed me some worksheets and said do you have anything planned? And I said, no I'm not scheduled to work with your class tomorrow so I don't have anything planned. So today we're walking to class and he's all "I woke up drink this morning." And I was like "Uhh, drunk?" And he's all "Yes. I had 12 beers last night." And in my head I was like "Oh ho ho muthafucka. I ain't teachin your classes just cuz you're planning on getting shitfaced the night before." So we get to class and I'm doing the lesson--mind you this is 3-5, (seniors, class five), my crappiest class, but there are a few good kids in it so atleast they work with me. And I'd go around waking kids up (cuz they like to put their heads down while they *think*), while he's standing there in the front doing nothing. And THEN he has the nerve to strike up a conversation with a student while I'm teaching!!! I was like oh HELLS no and I walked over and said "Did he finish his worksheet?" and Naka-sensei flustered a "no" and then handed him the answer key. I was like WTF??? So I said "Why does he get the answer key when all the other students have to listen to me and do their own worksheet?" And he mumbled some excuse. So then I just said I was finished with my lesson cuz I didn't want to deal with that anymore, and just stood there, arms akimbo. And he told them to do something in Japanese. I was so pissed. Afterwards he was like "That boy is very bad student" and I was like no shit sherlock. I told him I didn't think it was fair to the other students who are actually doing the work. And he mumbled something about not counting his score for his grade. JAPAN!!!!!!!!!
If this happens again, I'm telling. I'm in good with my new supervisor. She's constantly talking shit about another English teacher to me. It's great.

I think next time that happens you should shout, "I'M TELLING!," in front of the whole class and storm out.

And hip hip hooray for purple and green legwarmers!
