I promised an update on my job promotion. As of last week, I am the Director of Teaching Activities ā effectively the head ā of our unit at the university. I answer to the head of the organization, based in Beijing, and I will have a staff of two office workers and seven other teachers. I get more pay and fewer class hours, but way more administrative work. Iām also in charge of local personnel matters, which given our current line-up of teachers may be very interesting as the term progresses.
Wish me luck.
