Korea- Too boring

[jimmy olsen]

Well, fuck.  They need someone who can be there, like, tomorrow.  Offer rescinded, albeit with a profuse if somewhat disfluent apology and a "we'll keep you in mind" statement that somehow seems less phony than when Americans do it.  And I'll keep that in mind too.

It's not my fault.  Probably.  Maybe it is.  I mean, I do suck.  However, I thought I hid it better.

Does the State Department do refunds?  Actually, I suppose I have a weak Sec. 90 case against Yeongi, but whatever.

Anyway, I understand their problem.  I'm not really angry, just disappointed.

Like I told Tim, that's two out of three jobs that vanished into the ether.  Interview for Dept. of Consumer Affairs today (wish me luck ).

And there's always the job I have.

No refunds from the government.

Anyways, she's no doubt sincere. I guarantee if you keep looking you'll get a good job here.

Any mix up is their fault. Koreans change their minds at the drop of a hat and don't tell anyone else about it until it's too late, and the people at the bottom of the organizational chart get shafted because of it. You just gotta learn to roll with it.

... well then, try not to drop your hat?

If you're interested in Shanghai, I can try and help you get here. My school in particular desperately needs foreign teachers, so I can talk with my boss and see if there's a way he can bring you in without the slow-as-molasses HQ hiring process.

And if you're still interested in Korea, I know/knew someone who runs a hagwon (aka after-school language academy) in Seoul. However, I'm not sure if she'll hire someone who isn't in Korea yet. But I can still ask.

[Ideologue]

I dunno.  PRC scares me.

I'm actually thinking, if things pan poorly viz. the newest crop of job stuff, Japan.  I mean, I told the Korean folks that Korea was my favorite, but that was a lie.

 Ide, I must protest
Japan isn't big enough for the both of us

[CountDeMoney]

I dunno.  PRC scares me.

We'd come get you.

DINNER OUT IS A GO

Ide, I must protest

Because you're too fat so there's no room? 

[Lettow77]

it is indeed
what if ide gets there a full year before I do
and in that intervening period of time the japanese realize how disgusting and inferior southerners are

my entry depends on their ignorance to the wider world and our region in particular

[Ideologue]

I'm not inferior.  I'm a doctor.

[Tonitrus]

I dunno.  PRC scares me.

Better make it quick. 

Heavy bombers don't discriminate. 

[Ideologue]

It's not even cool anymore.  In 1945, you could see the bomber stream blot out the sun like a cloud of Persian arrows.  These days it'd just be some drone that missed the "spontaneous" rioing crowd and hit the consulate full of expat American supplicants instead.

[CountDeMoney]

Nobody appreciates my Spy Game reference. 

[Ideologue]

Nobody appreciates my Spy Game reference. 

I didn't want to admit I didn't get it.

[CountDeMoney]

Nobody appreciates my Spy Game reference. 

I didn't want to admit I didn't get it.

Go watch that movie, dammit.  It's pretty cool.

Almost impossible to get in without doing JET, you willing to wait 'till August 2013?
