You've got yourself a wife and kid, you live in a country you've been recommending to others (under another alias), you must be earning a fair bit of cash, you get the summers off. Although, as the song goes, "(TEFL) cunts are still ruling the world", I think you could take it a bit less personally if you wanted to...

On the way to the interview to get on my CTEFLA course, a bird shat on me.
