I am at work. I am hungover, sickish, and lonely. I didn't feel so hot this morning, I figured if I got up, got moving, etc, I'd be ok. Nope. I am now stuck at work, and I won't be leaving unless I end up getting physically sick after lunch (which I'm not ruling out at this point). I try not to take sick days when it is my own fault that I am sick ( Read more... )

Clay and I both have two years experience teaching in Korea. We are both going to be TEFL certified very soon. We both have degrees applicable to teaching English. These are all things that are supposed to make getting a job easier. We have hit an unimaginable amount of road blocks while trying to go back to Korea. We've been ignored by recruiters ( Read more... )

I'm sitting around Hena's brother's apartment in Chennai before we go out and spend my last 500 rupees on things I don't need but may as well have, why not blog ( Read more... )

It has recently been discoverd that the public schools all over Seoul do seem to be blocking myspace and livejournal. Suck a cheetah's dick suckage! If they block facecrack I think there will be a revolt of some kind, much like when they tried to block youtube. So this is the reason for my complete lack of posting of late and in the future, not ( Read more... )
