Backstabber

September 11. 2009, under Blog with No Comments

For some reason, every time I think of the word ‘backstabber’, I feel like it should be said like Peter says, ‘BUTTSCRATCHER’. (For reference, click here). I don’t know why.

But yes.

Bev sent me a letter the other day. I feel really bad that I haven’t called her or anything recently. She sent some photos of the festival, of Chayan. Oh my god is he tall now, haha. I think I still see him as a little boy, like when I first met him. But he did really well at the festival! So I’m really proud at him about that.

But, Bev also told me something interesting. One of the teachers (we’ll call her H) left the conservatory. Okay, it happens. But when she left, she tried to take as many of her students with her as she could.

THAT IS AWFUL.
It also goes against the unwritten ‘rule’ I guess. Maybe it’s in the contract, actually. I’m not sure. I never signed a contract there or anything. It was more, hey, you’ve been here forever, wanna job? Haha.

But yes. So, H left the conservatory, and is trying to take as many students as she can. That’s just so low and disrespectful. She was so sweet too, and I thought she was a really nice lady. But… guess not. I guess you really can’t tell who you can and can’t trust.

It just majorly sucks when you go out on a limb for some one, by offering them a job (and anytime you do that, you are doing just that… wow redundancy) and they turn around to bite you in the ass. It’s happened to me a few times… not on the same level, but it definitely is not cool.
