Beguilement.

The Confusion that is Korean drinking culture.


Argument: It is okay to drink in a classroom/place of work, but not in an opposite-gendered co-workers room.


1. After Euri's going away, Amy got a note saying that I ought to be more careful about taking beer to Nicholas' room. For shame!

2. Upon cleaning out a certain former co-worker's desk in Classroom E, Amy found empty beer cans. Some of which may have been consumed while with students in the room.

3. A class was chastised last night by the building manager because they were drinking in their classroom.

In conclusion:

1. They are on vacation, hence why they are exempt from drinking rules and being hungover.

2. It is okay to drink in public, but not in private.

3. I'd still rather drink in private with members of the opposite gender than in my place of work.

4. They are not on vacation and should stop whining about having to do work; they're being paid to be here and frankly, a little part of me gets smug when I torture them with more work because they're whining. I hate to break it to you, but if you want to keep your job, and if you want to ameliorate your English, you have to practice and use it.




I think I'm going to Thailand. I'm irresponsibly going to start booking trips so I don't irresponsibly quit my job, pack up and go home. It makes sense in my world.



My aforementioned former co-worker was relieved of his job because, well, he relieved himself of it in the end. Early last week, I recieved a Facebook message from what looked like some girl offering employment. I would've blown it off had I not seen the same e-mail address on his computer. Other trainers found more stuff, and in the end, he was placed on suspension and ended up quitting.
Suffice to say, if you are "checking your friend's e-mail while they're in Cambodia because the internet is too slow" yet they keep it contact with you via MSN messenger, you might want to plug all the holes in your ship before you sink.
It also helps if you don't leave a lot of windows open on various public work computers.
The biggest issue that was made and presented to the head office was that he was mis-using technology.
My biggest issue with it that this was that this "employment" being offered had to do with videotapes and being tied up. Let's just leave it at that.
