I figured that if botulism can get folk out of North Korea, then it could do the same for a weekend hweshik.Cholera, though, has the advantage of not being grossly insensitive.On the other hand, both rabies and malaria are equally serious, actually occur in South Korea, and have much shorter quarantine lengths.

Hassle of administering them? The supposed futiliy of the whole thing?I don't mind them at allHaving to administer them to too many students in a very short period of time, which results in monotony and a deterioration of my soul. It's boring and tedious, and, ultimately, a pointless exercise in memorization and not on actual conversation. I get the rare 2-3 students per semester who make it interesting.

The usual. After that she shows me the scores adn says she'll need to talk to the principal because the thinks the planning score should be lower since we had to go fast at the end to finish the class... cuz the students came in 10\3 minutes late but yeah thats apparently my fault...Wow!Your next conversaton with this teacher should consist of two sounds....you hitting her....and then her hitting the floor....

Guhh right!? She's the worst! She calls me at my other schools to make sure I'm still there, as if I could just walk home and sneak out early from a rural school in the middle of nowhere where my co-workers drive me o.o And she snuck in a "oh so you teach any private lessons on weekends" the other day... I can't wait to leave, if it's her mission to get me fired then so be it. I only have 19 more times I have to be in the same room as her... Maybe 5 if she tampers with my evaluation...

Every month I am forced to change my school computer password because of the powers that be and ahnlab. Every month I change it back to the same password right after.
The left earpiece of my Beats earphones stopped working. I haven't even had them for a full year. Meanwhile, the Marley earphones I purchased 2.5 years ago are still going strong. Never. Again.

Same thing happened to mine - earbud just stopped working after maybe 8 months.
