2. anger at those making demands
3. self-criticism for putting up with the demands
4. cynicism, negativity, and irritability
5. a sense of being besieged
6. exploding easily at seemingly inconsequential things
7. frequent headaches and gastrointestinal disturbances
8. weight loss or gain
9. sleeplessness and depression
10. shortness of breath
11. suspiciousness
12. feelings of helplessness

that's just plain sad.

...and where would you find one in Korea anyway?

Here's some help I found:

I do. I bought a USP compact .45 and a Walther P-99 .40 S&W. I hated the Walther, they use the same passive safety system in the trigger as the glock and it was always fucking with my head. I couldn't feel when the weapon was going to discharge.

The H&K is a beautiful handgun. The trigger pull feels right to me and it's a damn sturdy weapon. They're a bit expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.

It must just come down to our personal tastes.

Edit - The H&K is also the simplest handgun I have ever cleaned. It's easy to break down and reassemble. Much easier than the Walther or my shitty Makarov .380 I use for concealment.

Their newer civilian rifles are ugly and gutless in my view. I prefer the older styles over the new plasticy ones. Special Weapons Inc. in Nevada (?) makes decent MP clones for about $1,500 that are worth checking out. Personally I'd rather get the class-3 license and grab a full-auto MP-5 for $5,000 or so.

Just be thankful you're not a kid in Korea, how do you think they cope with being burnt out?

Those generic symptoms are also signs of amemia, measels, a bad cold, too much caffeine, sunstroke, dehydration, post-traumatic stress disorder, post-big mac syndrome....the list is long.

Burnout is a real problem I'm sure, but it is heaped into the '90's resurgence of socio-pshychological disorders that in time will prove to hold little or no water, as th symptoms are vague and far too general to be accurately diagnosed.

1. Could be you're just beat-down tired from the killer heat.
2. Depending on the demands, it could be quite reasonable.
3. Poor self-esteem, a jerk.
5. Schizophrenia, delusional
6. A bomb inside you (har har!), angry cause it's just one of those days.
7. Aneurysm, neuralgia, ulcer, bad tacos.
8. Quit smoking, eat like a horse or a bird, hate Korean food, too much BK.
9. Your hagwon job, the heat.
10. Lung cancer, a bad cold, pneumonia.
11. See #5
12. Canadian.
13. Suicidal. See # 1~12.
