|
|
A quick burst of rant is needed.
Older 55 year old teacher sitting there in her red sub zero temparature North Face puffa jacket thing. Heating on full. Has just opened up three windows. It's farking freezing.
I've just said to her to please close them again, it's too draughty, I've got the cold and don't feel like sitting here freezing. Maybe if she is too hot she should take off her jacket.
Oh no she says. It's winter, I need to wear my jacket it's cold
So now I need to put my outdoor clothing on inside to keep warm with the heaters going full belt. Just what I want to do, sit here in my hat and scarf because the stupid bitch wants to sit directly under the heater, in her farking sub zero duck down insulating bloody coat and keep bloody warm with the sodding window open.
I'm all for fresh air in the office, I actively encourage it, but three windows worth of fresh air is too much for me.
FFS you stupid old bag. |

It's actually been pretty warm the past few days. Stop complaining. Korea is not that cold! |

The windows might as well be up in my office. The heater is worthless and my toes are borderline frost bitten, and it's only 9:45am. It's a new building, i don't fully understand why the heater is so terrible? It's blowing hot air, but the room stays frigid. Must be bad insulation.. |

It's 12 degrees outside (53 degrees F)! How are you people cold? Back home people would start breaking out the shorts and t-shirts already. |

Not sure where you're at, but here in Seoul the temperature is around 37 degrees F. |

It's mild today but my classroom is still cold as this Hauzen heater doesnt seem to heat this classroom at all. |

This is a common complaint here. With my school, the kids leave their jackets on, and then they argue with each other over whether or not a window should be opened because it's too hot. Common complaint here. |

I'm sorry, but this really bothers me. None of us HAVE to teach English, we are choosing to. This really, really upsets me. I hate when people on the Internet are wrong. |

It's a universal law isn't it. Stupid people mold the world around their stupidity, while everyone else pays the price. |

I'm sort of used to it now. It's better than getting brain damage from the kerosene heater I sit next to all day. Wakes you up a little too. One thing that I can never understand is come 3.30, heater goes off and all the doors are opened. Why not try to keep some of the heat in for 30 mins or so?
Down south the weather is good for me. The lack of Antarctic winds is very nice. |
