Just been asked if my wife would have a c section so my school could plan the dates of our winter camp. Having a natural birth would be inconvenient for the school apparently.
I applied for my F-6 visa on August 31 with my E-2 set to expire on September 30. I expected it might take a month at most (based on what I read on this forum ), but here I am nearly three months later and the sucker still hasn't come through and apparently my school is having trouble paying my pension contributions. Whenever I call immigration they can't say much but that the process sometimes takes up to 6 months! This is nuts. I was told I shouldn't leave the country until it comes through, as well. Feeling a bit in limbo and worried about being able to claim those pension contributions later once the visa does finally come through. BTW Chris, that's outrageous. I'm sorry they would feel fine asking you that.
I'm on my 4th year at the same school and my 4th principal and VP. 9 months into my contract it has been decided I have to attend all meetings (attendance is mandatory!) so I'm spending 3:00-4:30 in one Korean seminar about sexual violence and another on "prostitution prevention education" (thanks, Google Translate). It'll all be in rapid-fire native-level Korean, obviously. Can't wait.
I had to feed four people yesterday, 3 adults and 1 child including myself.The plan was just a simple pop in to Popeyes. Grab a double burger set, some extra chicken and sides. What could go wrong.Me: Spicy extreme set, please.Teenager: Punches in Spicy set. (meant for 1 person).Me: No, the spicy extreme set. Teenager: Punches in the spicy extreme set, doesn't remove single burger set.Me: Yeah, don't need the first one.Teen: Takes it out. What side do you want?Me: Coleslaw.Teen: Punches in coleslaw.Me: And some fries.Teen: Your set only comes with 1 side.Me: Yeah, I know and extra fries.Teen: Removes coleslaw, adds fries.Me: No, coleslaw and fries.Teen: Removes fries, adds coleslaw.Repeat this a total of three times. I finally give up. Wife wants coleslaw. The child can go without. Me: Okay, and an extra 2 pieces of chicken.Teen: Your meal already comes with two pieces of chicken.Me: ... Yes, I know. 2 more pieces of chicken...At this point the store had gone from empty to full. The manager comes up and we fix up my order in about 10 seconds.I was actually starting to become embarrassed. The absurdity of this kids deer in the headlights look was stunning.
