14/02: Had to turn down a job offer a couple of days ago

I had to turn down a job offer a couple of days ago!  It's not as good as it sounds, the hours would have meant I'd have to give up everything else I'm doing, all my current classes, and the pay wasn't very good.  This is the same company that made me do the psychometric testing in SPANISH!  I'm struggling to make ends meet at the moment, but hopefully I'll get some pay from Norte or my UK bank cards in the post.  I should be up and running in March, with a decent pay packet earlier April.  Shame I have to practically STARVE for the next seven weeks!  


And good ol' Norte: 


Whycanti:  I’m writing to inform you that the Instituto filed for bankruptcy and it has been granted by the court. This means we have all been laid off, and we have to sue the Instituto to get our delayed payments. The instituto will continue functioning, though, and teachers will be re-hired in March.

The first step to sue the Instituto is to get a “carta de despido”, issued by the bankruptcy authority. Yours is at the Instituto Reception (Moneda). When you are back in Santiago , make sure you start the process immediately.

We  will gladly help you with information.

This is a sad situation, but we are doing our best to continue working.

Best wishes, Gloria Hudson

My reply?  Dear Gloria,

I am still in Santiago and I still have a class running, Rollbook 5806.  Does this mean I should abandon my class and tell my student he won't get the hours he has paid for?

Kind regards

I've got to get out of this teaching business!
