One of the K-teachers in my office is acting a bit strange today. She keeps dropping things and talking to herself, like someone on a lot of medication or a special student. She was a bit light-footed and singing to herself earlier. Will keep an eye on her in case things get interesting.

Either she will cut her hair real short or have a real breakdown.

Or it could be the fever.

I think she's on meds. Maybe anti-depressants.

They can make people act strangely at first. I tried some before and felt like I was on an acid/mushroom trip. Nasty stuff. I don't think I sang to myself but maybe I would've had I stayed on them.

Yeah, I think it's meds. She looks like she's on a downer now, her mouth is hanging open and she's looking kinda slack-faced. Just caught her eyein' me up as she passed my desk too, lol.

If she's attractive, then make a move.

Lol, she's late 40s early 50s. The only thing I'd hit it with is a restraining order. Not my cup of tea.

No, I don't drink while I'm working. Only rarely during the week.

Have you challenged her place in the hierarchy recently?

or did you teach the class about 100X better than her, to rapturous applause from the students?

Both of the above will usually shock the average Korean teacher into thinly disguised madness.

This particular teacher isn't a co-teach. She's one of the "gang" that just seems to hang around and have a good time talking to each other, ladies in their forties. So I've never challenged her. Thank you for thinking I can teach, you are a gentleman.
Very Happy
