Wish - all the things that have to get done before i can head to Korea could get done faster
Wish - in the two days i've been searching, hopefully i can find On Whey Protein in the 5lbs. for a better deal than $40/shipped...cheapest i found it about 2 months ago was for $34/shipped
Gripe - Fun Size candy bars...i find nothing "Fun" about these miniature candy bars or anything sweet in small form, i have a wicked sweet tooth and like big portions when it comes to things sweet...i.e. Papingsu |

Fun size candy bars are clearly superior to normal size.
1) The end of the candy bar has the most delicious ratio of chocolate to filling of the entire bar. The ends of the candy bar make up a greater percentage of the fun sized bar, and as such, fun size bars have quantitatively more deliciousness per gram of candy.
2) Fun sized bars allow you more total control over the precise amount of chocolate ingested with less hassle. Sure, if you have to choose between just one fun sized and one normal bar the normal bar will give you more chocolate, but fun sized bars come in large quantities for a reason. If you ever want to eat, say, 1.5 candy bars (and who doesn't?), the fun size can easily accommodate this, while with normal candy bars, you have to either throw the remainder away or, even more disgustingly, store it for later, letting it slowly dry out, pushing its all ready sub-par deliciousness to gram ratio even lower.
3) Fun size bars allow you to share more effectively without having to either break a bar with your hands and getting melted chocolate on your fingers or, worse, just letting your buddy take a bite right off of the bar.
It's time to get over your prejudice and embrace fun sized. Or even mini. Mini is even better.
That's my rant and my gripe together. I have no wish. |

Aren't you on an F-4 visa? I thought F-2 and F-4 could both teach privates so long as they registered? |

I phrased things inaccurately.
I can legally teach privates, however I am contractually barred by my public school from teaching privates.
Bottom line, for all the gripes and rants people have here, the one that bothers me the most, and the one that I feel is far more important than some idiot ajosshi or scooters on the sidewalk, is the fact that we can't maximize our earnings in our field of work. Who cares if you have to get drug tested? I care about the fact that I could make at least double what I make now, if not more. Let the market work. |

Gripe: I see girls wearing cute clothes, but I never see anything with a good cute/quality/price ratios in stores
Rant: None of my clothes fit me and I look like a pariah! I need more money! Or to know my size so I can order Modcloth! I hate the shopping here.  (
Wish: Wish I was back in America with a bunch of money so I could restock at Anthropologie. Also want to get this tattoo I have been thinking about for like 20 months...
Bonus Gripe: Cake pops. I wish FoodGawker would stop posting them. They look stupid. Also, fondant is incredibly dumb. Give me a lopsided cake made with love... okay, this is becoming a rant. ^^ |

blasphemy, i've never not finished a candy bar and if i do the re-wrap, i'll probably eat it in a few hours 
you do seem to know your Fun Size candy bars...one Fun Size i do appreciate is Snickers, start with the outside chocolate, then the nouget bottom, then the caramel and peanut top...its like three distinct great flavors (if you ever get a Snickers, i recommend eating it this way) |
