i suppose grotto that "the drink" ain't his problem. If his personality had some sort of redeeming feature, drinking wouldn't be a problem. Still trying to find that feature.

I'm probably gonna restrict my next post till, he leaves. But this one will be a DOOZY. I have a feeling something big may happen, unjustifiably big this week. We'll see i suppose.

I don't need lifelong...i need 1 week.
not only that but he seems to be trying to piss me off so that i'm just another person to complain about. But i ain't gonna give him that.

as for sparkx...thinking the exact same thing.
But good thing we can save the time of:

It's not always 'drunks' who are a problem, but absolute socially-challenged misfits who somehow find their way into the system, and subsequently drift their way through the murky, subterranean world of dodgy hagwons for years on end, contributing little at best, and by virtue of their survival skills, emerge at a university such as mine which was too cheap to hire someone from out- of-country, thereby degrading whatever language progam that others have assembled. Such people drag us all down by association. Thankfully they are few. I'll take the drunks over the paranoid schizophrenics any day.

What about if the person is both(which is rather common)??? I've met a couple and they are the most disturbing people I have ever met.

thank you just because for your vote of support.

EXTRA good news for khyber...not only is the bad teacher leaving this week but, due to good fortune, his one year and one month contract is being shortened by one month and his new last day is Ap16 (incl. holidays)!

I've never meant to harp on the dude being a drunk. Frankly, it's a bit of a sidepoint really...it's that this guy is sociall maladujsted.rw rap[pj

After reading this post I'm going to "just say no" to the roommate option of the contract!
