I have a great public sector job that I love.
I like 90% of the K adults with which I come in contact.
I love 98% of my kids.

I hate the administration of the school district in which I'm employed.

Two weeks to go until I'm out of here (either 'between' contracts or permanently), and stil no contract... promised "many benefits" by the boss... these won't happen (they will throw the exact same contract at me and expect me to kiss their Confucian asses).

God, this would be such an easy country to invade!... wait a sec... it's been done before. Evil or Very Mad

Long live Takeshima!

I hate the fuccking place too. (At least at the moment.) Thank god for weekends and escape. The entire country - EVERYTHING - is driving me crazy right now. Usually I have a passionate "I Hate Korea' day about once a month. Recently its about three times a week. Thinks me needs a holiday.

I work for the same school district as Cruisemonkey, and he's not exaggerating in the least. Thank goodness my school has been so appreciative towards me and I don't work for a businessman who's constantly running around like a chicken with its head cut off just telling everyone what they want to hear.

Ditto for me. Cruisemonkey's boss has screwed me and several others over. Always with a smile and the very best intentions though! Evil or Very Mad
