My co-teacher is really cranky today. I understand it's because she's hot (temperature-wise...) so I don't really blame her, but it's putting me into a foul mood as well.On the other hand, we are allowed to use the AC, so why isn't she using it?? I feel fine without it but if it's bad enough to make her so irritable, just turn the damn thing on. Good thing I have a light cardigan with me.
And what IS the word for when you want something to be understood as actually being true, without an ounce of exaggeration? There's gotta be a way to say it in one word. I'm literally drawing a blank here.

Thanks millennials.Sorry that's a bit inapp... wait, nope, ranting thread. Good job.

Or maybe just be a bit more passive-aggressive and say "not figuratively". That'll show 'em.
Guys, relax. I asked Arsalan to delete my account and my posts because I felt like I had shared too much personal information and wasn't comfortable with it being on the internet. I had no idea in deleting my account, the threads I started would also be completely deleted instead of just my own posts in them. I started the RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 2.0 thread and it is gone because my account is gone. I'm sorry that all your posts were deleted, I didn't know that would happen. It's not some government conspiracy. The mods aren't out to get you. Your free speech is not being squashed. It's all good!

We'll just have to wait until we go home to catch em all. Quote from: Kayos on July 08, 2016, 07:58:47 amIs it out in Korea now? I heard it had only been released in New Zealand, Japan, and America. :oI downloaded it because I have the american app store on my phone. But it's hugely based on actual physical location/surroundings so if the app hasn't mapped them out yet due to the map problem...there are no landmarks to visit. Apparently the landmarks are basically the same as in Ingress but I can't find a map of landmarks in Busan.I hope it ends up working eventually. I live near the beach so I'm tryna catch some water-type Pokemanz.Stupid question.I'm looking at three starter pokemon. How do I choose one? Preferably Squirtle?

OH MY GOD I FUCKING HATE HANCOM AND ALL THESE SHITTY KOREAN KNOCKOFF PROGRAMS!!!!!!! My coworker is in charge of the English club, which means I'm in charge of the English club. He wants to do a student newspaper despite the fact that this is way above the level of our students' writing abilities. We're already behind on our deadlines because, as you know, everything takes priority over anything NET related in Korea. So I now have 7 massively broken English articles sitting in my inbox in ****** .hwp format and they're all read-only. I have a workaround but it's just ignited this irrational raging hatred in me. I HATE these stupid programs and how worthless they are, and I HATE how insistent Koreans are on using them despite them being some niche crap program that's USELESS outside of Korea.

I swear! I just fart a lot, but I never follow through!*If you see some of my older posts (unless they got deleted in the great 2.0 deletion massacre [I liked rhannahbrown's posts n.n]) you will see an incident where I accidentally made a first grade teacher lose face and as a result she tried to get revenge by having me banned from using school bathrooms. I don't know if this was EXACTLY what happened, but after the huge poop wad had sat mouldering and uncleaned for a day or so, coteachers started coming to me and delicately explaining how to use squat toilets. After that, I was only allowed to use the first floor toilets. I can only imagine that's why.* jk gurlz dont fart lol
I have a student who will excuse himself from class when he feels a fart coming on. He excuses himself often.
This KEB/Hana merger thing and Korean banking, in general, returning to piss me off.My security certificate expires on 07/12 so I tried to renew it tonight. Can't do it because I registered with KEB first to get my security certificate and their own OTP can't be used because the error message tells me that they don't f***ing exist anymore. So, I need to wait until the 13th to work out a new digital certificate as I can't change issuing banks until this one expires. Will see if Woori can issue a new one successfully.Then, got to go through the whole process of registering it with KEBHana again (let's see if the KEB OTP works or not) and also with my smartphone apps.What a stupid layer of security.
