RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

I have to wonder, why is it so incredibly difficult to buy a broom, mop, or other stick-like cleaning implement that both a) is full length, and b) has a non-telescoping handle?

I know these things exist, because most schools have them. But search for consumer products, and it is exceptionally difficult to find anything that matches those two requirements.

school wants me to pay the teacher friend fee...the one the pays for the school dinners, deaths, births, and weddings etc for the teachers. Since corona there has been none of the above...and I am leaving this school in August but they still want 100,000 for March - July.......in 2018 I got money from this group because I got married.....so I understand it's purpose and don't argue about contributing....if there was an actual reason or event, but corona....so....... .

what post

The post that Graham Linehan, Julian Barrett, Armando Iannucci, Chris Morris, Bob Mortimer, Charlie Brooker, Bill Bailey helped me write and edit.  And now it's gone. 

Anyway....

People still die and get married and stuff. It also contributes to the money given to teachers and staff when they leave to a new school.

I wouldn't complain about paying into it, since you were literally a beneficiary of it just two years ago.

What I said was I don't mind...but I have paid for it already for 2 years.....and there haven't been any deaths, births, marriages, school dinners or anything since January (we get announcements about each of those things)  and I am literally leaving in a month......so if money was needed for any of those reasons no problem, I will gladly pay....but there has not been and if they were planning to give me anything for leaving....then just let me keep my own money instead of transactions back and forth because in that case I'm paying 100,000 won for 20,000 in return?

Expats baffled and enraged

Another change? Not long ago was this:

F2 visa changes disrupt foreign residents' lives

Why is the Korean government making it harder and harder to get and keep the F2 visa?

Can't believe it! My 4 year granddaughter just cut up our new-ish duvet with her baby scissors. Made incisions right along the length of one side and around the corner of a short end. Looked lovely. Totally my fault for saying she could trim a piece of stitching that was hanging down.

Teach her how to sew next!

LOL.

I am hoping that Colbuurrrrrn gets booted off of this site, fast.  I really cringe whenever I see a post of his because I know it will be possibly intolerant, ignorant, and hateful.

Also, don't you get any unused money back?

I've been here for 12 years, and most years someone from the office comes around with an envelope, a nice 70-100000 W inside. 

Should have seen what she wrote before the edit.

That's your bribe Mr C....   

Same here.  If no one really gets married or dies during the year, then there is usually a rebate of some such.

Stoat, that is just stirring.  The post as it stands now and what she wrote originally really aren't that different. 

lovely cool weather today

I've only gotten a refund once in 5 years and usually my schools didn't make me pay because I was only there a few days a week, but it's just that I am leaving the school soon and I know there wasn't anything that the money had been used for...so why make me pay it, just to give it back.......but if there is a need for it between now and when I leave, sure I'll pay.....

lol apparently you didn't read either properly then cause it's basically the same

The mods (there are only 3 or 4 active ones) don't read every thread. Especially not over the weekends. If something is against the TOS and it bothers you, rather than complaining about it here, PLEASE BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF A MOD USING THE "REPORT" FUNCTION so that it can be dealt with.


... although I suppose then one would then have nothing to rant about, which would suck.

I did. The post was still there, although now it appears it has gone. That's getting on for 5/6/7 times now and no real action. One wonders...
