Walked to the car, open the back door, place child on back seat, no safety measures, not even a seat belt, close the door, get in front seat PUT ON HER SEATBELT and drive away. As long as you are safe love!I'll do ya one better. There's a car I walk past every day on my way to school, and the parents are putting the toddler in the front seat sans carseat. Never seen them put a seatbelt on him either.I can do one better. A couple of times, I've seen a dad allowing his 2/3 year-old son to stand between the front seats, with his head out the sunroof waving his arms around, whilst driving down a road at about 60 km/h.

That ******. That fuckityfuckfuckfuck ing ******. Long story short, I have a new arch-nemesis. In lighter news, I've lost two USBs and a sports bra in this past week. No idea where they are, but they're gone.
Missing bra? You can’t “long story short” that one.:)

You can’t “long story short” that one.:)Haha, the missing bra is completely unrelated to the "long story short," but if it makes you feel better I suspect that someone might have decided to keep it for themselves since there's only really one place I could have left it, and it hadn't been reported as thrown out or returned to the front desk. And since most women here would never be able to fit into my bras, I suspect it's become a showpiece. Which, I don't blame them. It was a very nice sports bra. xD
Much better; thank you.:)

I've heard of things like this happening to other people, I never dreamed it would happen to me.I took vacation days Monday and yesterday. I come back today, and I see the cars in the parking lot. I get to the teachers' room. It is locked and empty. I think maybe the teachers are in a meeting, so I go to the multipurpose room and then the gym. Both empty. I don't know what to think. Zombie apocalypse? Alien abduction? Did I miss the rapture?I call my coT and another T. Neither answer. I send my coT a text. She responds that they'll all in another city for training.It would have been so nice to be told.
Deskwarming is boring and irritating. I only have 8 days left in this country, and I could be out sightseeing or packing but nooooo. I have to come to school and sit here.

I have to come to school and sit here. same same. it's my last week, contract ends at the end of this week. have had to come in the whole week and i am doing literally nothing.my desk is all cleaned out, no lessons to prepare since i'm leaving the country, but nope, gotta come in and sit here all day for 8 hours doing sweet f-all because "it is what the contract says". meanwhile none of the korean teachers are here, despite the fact that classes start next week. it's insane. the NET who has nothing to do and is leaving the country has to come to work, but the korean teachers who should have classes and paperwork to prepare are scratching their hairy balls at home.not going to miss this country or this job one bit.
they cut vacation days from 21 to 18 out of sheer spite.
Me: *Spends all of the winter break preparing lessons for the new semester*My Co-Teacher, one week before the semester starts: There will be a new curriculum, and a new textbook!
Seems a few of us are in the same annoying position. Leaving for good then? What do you have planned for life after Korea if you don't mind me asking?
