I used to call it the "mid-morning leisurely bus ride to the airport"


Man those rides felt good. There was nothing freer, more liberating than leaving behind a miserbale situation. Sounds like why I came to Korea in the first place. Hmm...

Homer, as you know I very rarely pull a "Corporal" about grammar, but come on man, are you drunk?

So I'm a verb now like denz and Derrek? Confused

Since a man (or woman) is known by the company he (or she) keeps...

Evil or Very Mad

I often felt like doing a runner during my first contract on Geoje-do (Wonderland). I stuck it out amazingly. The salary paid was always incorrect, bills were excessive (without receipts). During the first six months the owner has complete control of you. If you are miserable or being taken advantage of, get out of there.

Luckily, I have a better job now, but if things went bad, I'd be off.

i never did the runner because by the time i started to get burned out and things started to go haywire at my hogwan i was so close to getting my severence pay that it wouldn't have been worth it.

anybody else stick around just for the severance?

anybody have trouble getting their sev. pay after sticking it out until the bitter end?

I'm very concerned about that exact thing right now. I've been hearing rumors from the start that my company is in bad condition and we could all be gone at anytime. I've made it 8 months.. but the rumors are starting up again.. and I'm getting a bit worried once again..
