Some friends are at home. Probably hungover. I'm furious at EPIK, and will continue to be until every single perk other NETs get is also given to me. Yeah, okay - they're still paying me. But I'm just sitting here. I should be able to go home too. Ridiculous.


So you are that mythical person that calls the MOE and complains about other foreigners getting more than their contractual vacation?

but in all fairness, the only reason he knows about the extra perks other NETs are getting is because they're busy bragging.

Yeah, Christmas Eve isn't really a holiday. I've always had to work it. When I was a kid, it seemed like a big whoopdeedoo holiday, but now... meh. I'm at school, doing MA work and checking the ESL boards, and also learning Korean obsceneties...

All the teachers and students have left except for me and the other second-class contract teachers. Confused

So far I've paid 2 bills online, made 3 orders at Gmarket and paid off some Ebay purchases. I foresee a couple more online orders today to fill up my time.

Hmm, I may have to hit the books on a possible staycation. So productive online, not so much in real-life. Ugh.

My bad. Obviously I didn't make my post histrionic enough.

I was being sarcastic.

I'm one of maybe a dozen people at my school today. I made an audio recording for our school's website (parents and teachers study with my audio and text files), laminated a bunch of stuff for camp, and am now watching downloaded stuff.

That stuff took all of an hour. I'm bored out of my MIND. I'm going to have to download some more stuff.

Should've brought a book. I'm currently getting stuck into Vladimir Nabokov. Terribly depressing fellow.

It is a bit frustrating when public school teachers at the same school get it off and you don't. Not that I would turn anyone in. But that warrents water cooler obsentities.
