Will try hard to remain rational.
I think an appearance of rationality is all you really need.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Egyptian law, afaiu, only applies to contracts that are written in Arabic. And there are a whole array of Egyptian employment laws that he's cheerfully disregarding already, so I'm guessing that it'd be British contract law/employment law that would be relevant. Maybe.
You need to find out. Even if the contract isn't in Arabic, it still may be enforceable under Egyptian law. And if he's been flagrantly ignoring employment law, then he could be in for a nice hot boiling water bath.
Is there a clause in the contract that expressly states which jusridiction's law would apply should a dispute arise?
eta: Just saw your edit. Yes, that's better. The thing to remember is that IF you send that letter, it becomes part of the record. Every word will be scrutinized, and needs to stand up to any legal test they could throw at it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Since I and Evil School have both acted in good faith in fulfilling the terms of the contract up until this point
This addition that Brenda crafted is very important, I think.

You think correctly, Tep.

ita, were you about to recommend a messenger bag when you asked if I needed to carry gym shoes, or was it just a fetish thing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No -- it was just that it'd make a big difference to the size of the bag, so I wanted the people who have a clue to have the correct specifications. I'm just a business analyst -- assisting others to architect the solution.
God, it's only Monday.

This may be the most afraid of ita I have ever been.

Mostly lurking...
So, I just got home from observing at the school. I think it went really well. I also met with/had a mini interview with the director of the program. She asked me at one point if I'd like to quit school and work for her full time. I'm thinking that's a good sign.
Also, the staff members I was shadowing? They were talking like I already worked there, and were surprised I didn't know. I'm thinking that's also a good sign.
I'm supposed to hear for sure tomorrow.
Eep.

That sounds like a really solid interview, VW. It's always cheering when they take you as a given.

Very good signs indeed, vw.
