I was owed money for working a camp last week. Was told I would be payed on payday in addition to my monthly salary. Payday comes around, no camp pay.

I call to inquire about my pay. "You will be payed at the end of the month."

End of the month is a Sunday. "I would like to be payed by Friday," I tell her.

She assured that I would be payed by today. 6 pm rolls around, still no pay. I call her up. She says that she payed me. I tell her no, she hasn't and reminded her that I had send my bank account info to her a week ago when my payday was. She hangs up then calls back a few minutes later. This is where it gets really sketchy.

"So the company has paid, but they accidentally sent your money to the wrong person. Question So I am going to send you the money now, and I will have to get the money back from him."

I am extremely annoyed by this point. "How did you accidentally send my pay to someone else when I sent you my bank account info not even a week ago?"

"I will send it to you now. Can you please send me your bank account info?"

Again? I just sent her my info last week and she has it on record in her office.

I don't get it. I really don't, and the more I try to get it, the more brain cells I lose. I swear, I could smoke crack all day for 10 days straight without rest and I don't think I would come close to destroying as many brain cells that I have lost in trying to understand how some people can be so idiotic and assuming that I actually believe their BS. Just pay me. Pay me. Don't give me a runaround make believe fairy tale.

She paid me, but of course, it was 5,090 won short. I don't think that was a mistake either. I think it was her way of saying "Bend over and engulph my strap on. I win."

I need to expose myself to more honest people than this. It's my own fault for putting myself in this situation to begin with, but come the F on. Seriously. Life is too short for this kind of nonsense.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Next Monday, why don't you go to a different Hagwon and teach a class of students you don't know.

When she asks you what you were doing, tell her you sent your English to the wrong school. When she asks you to make up for the lost class, only teach 85% of it, introduce her to the Lekmaster.

Careful, you are already scratching the bottom of the barrel.

Can't wait for your next pseudo tough-guy experience to be posted!

5090 won short of what is presumably somewhere around 2'000'000 won?

I probably lose that much change under my bed in a year.

How am I being tough? My boss is manipulative and she is a liar. Again, how am I being tough?

He spews so much stupidity that I save my comments for the exceptional stuff. For Lekker, this post is downright rational.

"He" spews? Oh my, what's on your mind Scotticus?

Weren't you trying to explain to someone else the difference between rational and reasoning? Tell us more please. How was Tin Pan? Did you catch any herpes by sitting on a bar stool?

Are you actually saying that starting a civil case against the boss, which will probably cost at least 100,000 or so, for 5,000 is a good idea? Are you really that stupid?
