The supervisor has also sent a message to my CT instructing that NETs are not allowed to leave before the end of 4th period... So, I've got to teach till 12:20, skip lunch or going to the loo, to rush to the education office by 12:40, endure a 90min bus ride, enjoy a wonderful cultural trip of being told how great Korea is for the next couple of hours... in the rain and no lunch, eat mystery dinner and arrive back at 930pm. Wake up for school the next day.Don't forget to claim overtime for the trip. I'd just turn up late, on purpose.They might give you something? So are they making every teacher in the city skip lunch? Honestly I'd be super petty and whinge constantly about this, and also turn up late. Say you couldn't get a taxi or whatever. Just notice you are going with CTs, there's no way they'll allow you to be late then. Honestly, I'm man enough to be able to skip lunch, but it's the principal of the matter that gets to me.I save the whining for my online presence, doing that in real life just isn't my style, no matter how sh*tty the situation.I'm just going to leave at the end of the 3rd period and have lunch at home. My CT is equally pissed and we'll probably get the HR teacher to just play them a movie.

Finally time for the big hospital visit that 1.5 months of clinic visits (all of which only prescribed medicine like it was a guessing game) has led to.- Go to the suggested hospital last weekend, only to be told the kind of doctor I need isn't in that day. Gotta go to the other hospital on the other side of town.- Get there and get put on intensive care. Get several shots and other procedures done over the course of three hours. I'm told to come back in a week.- Go today, and the doctor tells me he'll prescribe medicine ( ) and to come back in a week. - The nurse tells me to go to the pharmacy. I go to the one across the hall. The pharmacist says I have to pay for the meds at the office. I go back to the office. She says I have to pay at the pharmacy. I go back. The pharmacist tells me to use the random machine the nurse never mentioned to pay for the medication. He also tells me that I have to go to a different pharmacy to get the meds (Crazy that a major hospital doesn't carry everything ).- I go back to my neighborhood (in the pouring rain) and go to my usual pharmacy. They don't carry the medicine and tell me to go to the pharmacy on the 1st floor of the building. I go down there, and they don't have it either. They tell me to go to another clinic a few blocks away. I go there and finally get the medicine (is there like a specific place for specific types of medicines???? ).- After all that is said and done, I still had to walk to school today in the rain.TLDR - Korea has given me the worst medical experience of my entire life. Some of it can be attributed to miscommunication sure, but this is absurd. It's a good thing it's so much cheaper than back home.
Don't try to ****** lecture me that the word "panties" is most appropriately used to refer to all underwear. If that's how you want to use it in Korea, fine, I'm not going to argue with you, but don't try to tell the rest of the English-speaking world how they should use their own gawddamn word. INCLUDING HOW IT SHOULD BE PRONOUNCED WTFUCKITYFUCKFUCK

INCLUDING HOW IT SHOULD BE PRONOUNCED WTFUCKITYFUCKFUCKI might have some sympathy for this if not for the west, and especially America's record of utterly butchering everything. We take words from around the world and change their meaning in English, then insist the rest of the world that they learn it that way.English teacher to Italian students: "You're saying it wrong. It's Rome, not Roma." This is part of the joy of cross-cultural language exchange- stuff like this happens and we get some interesting and amusing results. Lighten up.
"Vinyl" in Korean English is soft plastic, regardless of chemical formula, whereas elsewhere it refers to specific chemical compositions, regardless of softness.
