If I don't shave for more than a day or two, my students say "teacher! dirty!" But I think I can get away with more then a gyopo could. There's no way a Korean guy could go to work in a public school with a 6'oclock shadow.

I was looking forward to deskwarming so I can get some peace and quiet away from my new noisy neighbours.The teacher in the adjoining office is blasting some weird chant music at a deafening level.I genuinely think I'm going to have a nervous breakdown at some point in the next few days.

Just have to be careful who sees me when I'm out for lunch...

Teachers complaining we have too much time off?I've read it was because a bunch of NETs kept complaining about the amount of deskwarming they had to do, especially when comparing their own setups to other NETs who were permitted to stay home or take longer vacations at the discretion of their schools.

Or they were bragging about other things like playing videos and etc. So the MOE decided to give us busy work instead

The little front-loading washers are too small to wash a comforter or multiple jackets, or a padding, or something comfortably. It's too smashed together, so it won't rinse properly, and then you end up getting skin irritation from leftover detergent. And if I'm living with another person, or potentially a family situation, there's going to be a lot of laundry and cooking. So, I don't want to have to deal with the frustration of a too-small washer and a weak cooking appliance.
Also, I do think it looks sloppy for most people if you roll up to work without properly grooming. But yeah - give a guy a break if he misses a day of shaving or forgets to do his hair.

One time a male teacher tried to advise me not to wear the color orange anymore. He wouldn't give a reason why but I later learned it was because he didn't think the color was professional enough. Meanwhile, he shows up to school wearing green slacks and a neon-purple shirt. I ended up purchasing three more orange shirts and blouses to wear just at this particular school. Some of these busybodies really need to learn a thing or two about etiquette and not confusing personal tastes for appropriate clothing.And even then I don't think it matters sometimes because I have seen a lot of Koreans with what seemed to be painted on pants.Also, good going on the orange. That is absurd.

I love being petty. I remember my former co-teacher at my first school used to always throw shade at me in terms of what I looked like, how I dressed, etc., etc., and it was really obvious that she was jealous (not saying I'm hot or anything; I don't know why she felt that way, but she did). I got really fed up with almost a year of this, so one day, during lunch, when a teacher commented on my new blouse saying she loves the way it flows because I have such a thin frame, I brushed it off, saying that I wasn't sure when I was buying it if it would suit me so that she would say it again and I can subtly rub it in my co-teacher's face.

It can serve multiple purposes, some of which include staying warm in the winter and covering up an unshaven face! There are other options but I felt this was the most impressive by far.
