Welcome to the glamorous Korean company work life.
I've been told by my boss that we'll finished up "early" tonight and finish up tomorrow morning.
Meaning I get to go home before midnight and come in to a mountain of work.
Less pay than teaching, less vacation days, and less free time. Teaching English was such an easy, cushy gig. |
ummmm why torture yourself then?
go get an after school job and life is gravy again. or better yet get a uni job. |
Because he likes saying the magic words "I work at Samsung" to strange women at bars? |

You don't think that actually doing the work instead of posting here might help? Decisions we make, huh? |
Its called multitasking. People with intelligence can do it. |

Neuropsychologist Professor Keith Laws (University of Hertfordshire) says genuine high-level multi-tasking is impossible in humans.
"The general understanding people have of multi-tasking is a bit of a misnomer. I've never seen any examples of anyone who can do three or even two intelligent tasks simultaneously."
Researchers at Stanford University found that regular multi-taskers are actually quite bad at it. In a series of tests that required switching attention from one task to another, heavy multi-task had slower response times than those who rarely multi tasked.
US studies have shown that students who do homework while watching television get consistently lower grades.
Professor John Duncan, a behavioural neuroscientist at Cambridge University.
"Our brains are brilliant parallel processors, but that's usually the case only if the tasks are sufficiently different."
I heard the only people who can really multitask are airline traffic controllers? Is that what you do now? |
