 |
|
My school apparently complained to Wenise Kim about my recruiter for trying to organize another job, because I had already agreed to stay at my school a while ago.
My recruiter knew that, but was told off by Wenise and by my school for offering me another job.
Anyway, I apologized to my recruiter for the hassle, my incompetence is legendary.
I will stay at my school, avoid any blacklist, and leave next year, now that I know how to do that properly. |

I cannot tell a lie (part of my Southern Baptist upbringing, I expect).
What are the REALLY BIG ISSUES in life, you might well ask. Should the US stop killing uncounted hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and other assorted brown-skinned people, that sort of thing.
No, I mean the REALLY BIG ISSUES IN LIFE. Like, will fromtheuk scratch his butt today. AND EVEN MORE IMPORANTLY, if he does, will he rush to inform us all of the dramatic results (e.g. it stopped itching as a result).
These are the issues that a suffering humanity waits patiently to hear. Please, don't keep us in suspense. |

Thanks for sharing, Kwangjuchicken. Our old buddy, fromtheuk, works extremely hard to meet the needs of a suffering humanity. But, now that we're all aware of your willingness to show your vulnerable side and share your butt-scratching experiences with a suffering humanity, there is the possibility that, if exhausted from his efforts on behalf of humanity, fromtheuk, might be able to find a substitute with such noble humanity as his own as a replacement whilst he rejunvenates himself for his next selfless posts of sharing.
To think. That there is more than one like him gives one hope for humanity.
[Please note. I used the term, 'humanity' five times in this post and did not use the term 'horse's a-ss' even once even whilst discussing fromtheuk. That must mean something.   ]

No arguments here.
I just found out that the Homever next to my house no longer sells any alcohol at all. No soju, no beer, no wine. And then I read your post.........

That is very strange to hear. The Homever in my neighborhood certainly has a full wine cellar though it leans rather heavily towards red while I lean (and sometimes even stumble) towards white. |

Actually,
serves you right for trying to have your cake and eat it too! You agreed to stay at your school (though no contracts were signed) & you actively looked for other schools.
You should have been honest with your school & said "well, I'd like to stay but if there's a better offer I'll most likely go with them."
Either way....we now have another year worth of mundane, meaningless threads. To contribute...
Today I went to homeplus & bought some groceries. When I got on the bus home, I scanned my tmoney card. When I got off, there wasn't enough funds. The driver just let me off...no charge |
