My VP at my main school is a complete f***ing doo doo head POS ass****. I want to scream!! Nothing I have ever done over the last few years has ever been right. I will do things exactly as he says, and he changes his mind about everything about 5 times a year, and still no not good enough. I found out last week that he has badmouthed me to basically the entire staff at this school and others, despite the fact that he begged me to stay on this year. I get along great with my CTs (homeroom teachers) and we were all chatting about after school classes etc and this MOFO starts going on at me about how I need to up my game and what are my plans on how I will teach this year. So I replied, well the books have changed but my teaching methods will be the same, so he says in front of everyone "maybe this year you can actually learn how to teach." I'm an actual teacher, more years experience than him... I want to scream.I have literally reached boiling point and am ready to phone the POE and give in my 60 days notice. Like what the hell is his problem?I am seriously contemplating going to him and explaining to him that he must leave me alone or I will leave.
There have been a couple of principals I've worked with, who have had an almost childish behaviour, which seems to be prevalent in Korea and mainly it is to just criticise without it being in any way useful or constructive.
It's just that if you're old you can automatically become a principal, which is the dumbest shit idea. My school had an exchange with a middle school in California and my school's teachers couldn't quite understand how the American principal was in his late thirties. He was great to talk to, and clearly got his job on merit and after numerous interviews, however one of those merits not being his old age.
I suppose if your school's teachers knew that France's current president was 39 (in Western age) when he took office, that would probably make their heads spin.
A few year back, I heard from one of my Korean friends that her elementary principal said that he wanted all the female teachers to have sexy haircuts.
I am very quickly figuring out which kids are disciplined at home and which ones are not. This is so incredibly frustrating, more so that I can't lock my classroom when I'm not in it. I came back from lunch to find 20 kids playing in the (dangerously packed) store room, hiding in cabinets 5ft in the air, and throwing things across the room.Some of them instantly know they messed up just by looking at my face, but the others don't care at all. I'm trying to contact my mentor teacher about the issue but so far no response. It's my second day and the massive troublemakers (who aren't even IN my class) are undermining my handle on the rest of them.
June 2017: Fax an immigration form with my new passport number and new address. This is two months after I move but no biggie, right?Queue yesterday. I go to immigration, docs in hand. Kevin, you did not notify us of your change of address. *FACK* Yeah, I sent it in June with my passport form. It's not in our system. You will have to pay a fine. *Shiㅜ, I've heard of this. 50 000? 100 000, not the end of the world. Yeah, I only checked one box on the form for passport change, not the address one. I'm an idiot. Please go to Law Enforcement on the second floor. --------------------- Mr. Grabb, that will be 500 000W. FRICKIN. SHOOT. ME. *proceeds to pay out of necessity*

I used to like bibimbap, but now I kind of hate it? I think it's because it's used as a cheap lunch option, but I'm also over the gochujang and lack of protein. If I'm going to be eating veggies and rice as an entire meal, I think I'd rather just flavor the rice with soy sauce and sesame oil instead of an either bland or overly salty pepper paste. Seriously, I'm eating it like twice a week, and I hate it. I'm wondering if I'll get too much side-eye if I bring in my own condiments and meat for bibimbap days.

Our Korean lives are too short to spend them on eating bad bibimbap. I still like it, but that's because I have it maybe twice a year. And even then, it comes with more than just an egg and some carrots and spinach.

I've always preferred the soy sauce/sesame oil combo! That's how I had bibimbap as a kid. I've still never developed much of a taste for the flavor of gochujang nor spicy food in general. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
