GoStop Prophecy

       Walking to work today I happened to find yet again another gostop Card. Gostop is a card game that I play with my wife quite often. The point is to try to get matchings by fate and collect a cumulative group of 7 points. Its fun. Gostop is a hard red card and the one that I found was different than the others that I have collected so far.  
 I go to work everyday and stopping at 6pm is my pleasure. Lately, this school has been giving me enough problems that its all I can do to not walk away. Today was no different. I had a girl flip me off which occasionally happens anyways and the teacher tried to cover it up for her. "oh it must have been a different finger than the one that you said she did. This is the smartest girl in the class, she was one of my favorites but now I don't want to make kids like me simply because I no longer give a shit whether they learn or not.

My heart is no longer in this teaching business. I had so much fun with adults that now being back with kids is still heartache even though its been 2 months thus far.

To make matters worse, I called the agency when I was going home and found out that my pay won't be until tomorrow. I could care less when my pay is going to come because at this moment I am not needing money. I am irritated because last month  I got in trouble (with my wife) when my pay was late. I didn't care that it would be another day but because my wife was angry it ruined the date in PNU and I had to call everyone. Jessica my friend, Mrs. Kim my boss,  the teachers I work with all just to get an understanding of why I hadn't gotten paid yet.

This time I called the agency and they said my 80 year old boss is just to busy to pay you she will do that tomorrow. Apparently in all the hype she totally spaced out that Sunday was the 18th and today being the 19th its  definitely time to go to the bank and put the money into my account.

This woman is trying to sell her part of a franchise. She has a lot of business contracts and quotas to fill and just like every other businessman she passes her work onto others so she can focus her attention onto other things. Typical business ploy and typical Korean greed. I hate that people think their jobs are so much more important than others. I am a teacher just because I make more money than some other occupations doesn't make me feel like I am more important. I have the same respect from a anthropologist to janitor to Zoo keep and anything in between. I expect that people will do their job WHY DO I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO FIGHT PEOPLE FOR MENIAL THINGS?

If you are new to this blog and just an American trying to get a fresh perspective on Korea try not to have too high of expectations.  Katherine-If you are reading this could you please tell me more about yourself, do you have a blog can you show me something about yourself. I pour my hear out to everyone who wants to learn or read but not many of my readers want to share about themselves. Please enlighten me.


So Should I go or should I stop going to this school? I am fed up with this system.

Anmin Elementary? Its a disaster in the making.

The game GoStop is making me feel like a debate because this school has left me in a quandary. In some ways it makes me feel like I did back in Gumi. I don't ever want to feel like that again more to follow.
