So I am sitting here marking my 2nd grade writing assignments. its nice cause they turned on the AC today however one of the teachers hand phone starts ringing off the hook. I am about to go over there and throw it out the window.

In the past 10 minutes it has rang 7 times, the person on the other end is either mentally ill or oh wait, just addicted to the phone like 1 in 4 koreans

If I had 1000 won for everytime a teachers hand phone went off I could retire after teaching at a public school for a year...

Rant finished.

What I find even worse is the ring tones people have. You can't get any really annoying rings for land line phones, but the market is huge for cell phones. Why is this?
What's even worse is that I can't even find a non-annoying ring tone. I looked, and there is nothing like a normal phone ring on it. I have to settle for "only a little annoying"
All this reminds me of something I read in Esquire magazine a few years ago: "The more annoying the cell phone ring, the more annoying the person."

A lot of our K-teachers save us the annoyance of having to listen to their phones ring over and over again by taking the phones to class with them...
