How often do you have teachers crying in the office?
Seem to get it here a lot. Another one is going now, something about losing her work on her computer from this week.
Used to get it a lot in Thailand.
Only ever been female teachers though.
Not very good to be crying in public, should really have a weeping room. |

You should've consoled the crying teacher with, "Oh, don't worry so much. After all, the work couldn't've been that good. It was all in Hageul Word."
On a serious note, maybe this time she'll realize that taking the time to back-up the file is not taking time away from doing the work. It's preventing having to do the work again. Way back in the Eighties in California, one of the clerks where I worked lost over seven hours of data entry because she didn't back-up the work every 15 minutes. What caused the loss of the data? A drunk driver plowed into the pole with the power line to our building just 30 minutes before quitting time. |

In 10+ years, only at this job. Woes to me, she was even my office mate and it seemed every week it was something new; something about her MA course, or her cat, or her Korean language class, or SOMEthing earth shattering... praise be she didn't renew. The office is now tear-free. |

i'm just venting but i think my coteacher is so strange sometimes.
she cries all the time and it's always stupidest things.
she cries when there is a schedule change and she doesn't like it.
she cries when i refuse to do something (i didn't want to teach her kids privately on the weekends. weekends are for me!)
she cries that she has too much to do, but all i ever see her do is shop online or sleep on the couch in our office.
she cries that she stays afterschool longer and never sees her kids because shes working.
(literally she CRIES)
I pointed out she should not sleep and shop online, that way she can see her kids more often. and guess what? SHE CRIED |

her eggs are probably just getting cold.Women are fragile and worthless things only good for making babies and doing dishes.Once their tubes dry up they try to take the whole world down with them.I have a 0 tolerance policy for women crying. Just make sure she is pregnant then kick her down the stairs.  |

Slap that biatch upside the head and give her something to cry about. |

| She may have an iron deficiency caused by lack of iron in the diet or heavy menstrual bleeding. That in turn could affect her emotions. Buy her a big bloody steak sandwich. |

| I remember once many moons ago I worked at a hagwon where the foreigners grumbled (mostly men) and the Korean teachers (all female) would cry quite frequently. The boss there didn't exactly have the gift of maintaining high employee morale (among other things). If there is too much crying at a hagwon (and most of it not the students), your boss is doing something . . . . something bad. |

i wish i wish.
she just cries and i hate that she does infront of the students too because then they get out of control.
just this morning she was asking me why in English we call paper cups plastic cups? and I said no if it is made from paper it is a paper cup if it's plastic then it is a plastic cup. then she asked when did Canada adopt Konglish because those are Konglish terms. haha oh my she is weird. |
