How can that be after 5 years in Korea working full time?

Oh wait...you do change jobs more often than you change underwear so that would put a dent in your earnings.

Good luck with the latest episode Ying.


Well, we're not all perfect like you.

Good luck with that and have a wild time.


Perfect? Holy crap I am as far from that as the next guy. But working full time in Korea for 5 years with free rent and ending up with 38K to your name...thats hard to imagine.

Then again maybe you have a hefty laon to pay off and heavy payments every month...

Still you boasted about being fired and quitting so many times it stands to reason that this hectic job changing puts a dent in the finances as you lose out on severance and possibly airfare among other things.

Still good luck with job 245.

Cheers.

Are you sure he "boasted" about it, Homer? I think it's more a case of Ying being honest about his travails - he's not crying or asking anyone for help.

You should send Ying some flowers along with a sincere letter of apology. He'd like that, and I'm sure you'll feel better too.

I'll PM you Ying's address as soon as he has one.

Boasted...why yes he did.

But if it hurts your sensibilities lets call it ying being honest about his travails. He is lining up jobs and not taking names....

The flowers are on the way...they were mailed to job 245 but sadly he got fired before starting ( a new record for him) so I redirected them in a holding pattern over job 247...whatever that ends up being. The flowers come with complimentaty booze, smokes and a months supply of breath mints to mask the booze breath.

All is well.

Amended.

Booze and smokes are on the way. Took some doing but with g-market it is pretty easy.

You should get a carton of Malboro Lights along with a bottle of Gin. I figured you would never stoop so low as to consume Korean products.

Enjoy the care package and again, interpret it in any way you like.

I'm okay with Korean stuff, I just don't like those Canadian cigarettes with pictures of diseased lungs on the outside of the pack.

Kinda takes the fun out of it, you know?

Pat you are very sexy and articulate.

It doesn't make sense that you're not on Saturday Night Live anymore, Pat.
