Let's see I caught that tropical disease the HeBeJeeBees!

The other disease I caught was the Butterfly syndrome it's when I have that weird butterfly effect and I can't seem to stop things for the better..

Another disease the womanizer disease it's this disease that's been cast down upon me from ignorant flakes that don't know anything...

The jaundice it's yellowing of my skin

Disease of my hair foliclles this happens when I don't use shampoo..

I got the disease called the commonanimalias it's when I start acting like different animals such as a monkey, bear or zebra.....I farted in front of a ladies face it's part of my disease I can't control my bodily functions...

 

Worst disease is the PHillypoo disease and the TedLed me to do this disease.....powerful disease that can only be controlled by unknown beings...

TedDBayer:

Try wearing a tin foil hat. After careful consideration, I think you have3 Stooges Syndrone, you have so many diseases that they are trying to kill each other, resulting in your current condition. Now this does explain a lot.

I don't know what I caught but I was in bed for 3 days, if I ever tried to get up I would take (literally) 2 steps and fall over again.

 

I drank lots of water and electrolyte drinks and after losing 4kg I was right as rain.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
