Korea- Too boring

[Josquius]

Thats not true, there are lots of other options than Jet- though Jet is in most ways the best one.
I've even heard many stories of people just coming to Japan and getting a job within a few days. Once you're here it is freaking easy to just walk into a job.


re: the interview. Yes, I really hate the asking questions part too. I mean, I do my research before hand, I know all I need to know....and its not like I can picky about jobs, if I'm being interviewed there I want to be there!

A good job? Not a hagwon or whatever the Japanese equivalent is?

[Josquius]

For walk ins? Well no, that would be eikawas, though some do pay well.
Foot on the ground and a bit of effort though can get you a good job though. And many of these other alterantives to Jet are basically exactly the same job as Jet but with worse pay, better choice of location, and more holidays.

Another day at work, another day of rocking out to Zeppelin and playing Crusader Kings DV! 

[Ideologue]

I'm telling.

Hey, IDE, that bloody dvd turned up here a few days ago, apparently there there was "insufficient address". 

I'll email you a photo of the US mailman's handywork or lack thereof. 

[Ideologue]

I was wondering about that myself.  I thought maybe you'd forgotten to put it in the post or something.  Never showed up at my old apartment.

4th straight day of getting paid to do nothing.

By the way Ide, the district coordinator called me to personally apologize about you not getting the job. Apparently the Provincial Education Board really wanted you but the school itself managed to find some scrub who could get there right away and insisted on taking him.

If I were you I'd keep applying.

I get those every week. They suck.


How do you get away with fitting gaming into it though?

Got my own classroom. It's huge and has its own computers.

I do sometimes miss the laziness of being a teacher in Korea.
On the other hand, while I have to work more here, I can sleep in every day except Sat and Sunday.

[Zoupa]

I dunno.  PRC scares me.

We'd come get you.

DINNER OUT IS A GO

I got it 

The Beyrouth scenes are very good.

"Getting paid to do nothing" is one of those things that sounds good in theory, but in practice kind of sucks.

When you get the occasional day like that once in a blue moon it is awesome.
When its a regular thing though...it is just horrible.
