Absurd Talking

Absurdity

I had to go back to Labor today because my old crazy boss thinks she doesn't owe me money after she got me evicted.

While I was there, I met another woman who's only been working at that school for a month and she's already going to Labor. Why is this woman allowed to keep having a business?

The letter I got said that if I didn't show up, they'd believe her story. Yet she didn't show up. Basically, she is trying to make me crazy by making me show up at meeting after meeting that she can skip.

Sometimes the laws in Korea make no damn sense. Sometimes Korean logic is not like our Earth-based logic, as I joked with my parents when they were here.

Talking

The plus about having to go to Labor (again) is that I was across town near Good Man's house, so we had dinner together.

He put up with my "She's crazy! What is her problem? Why is she lying?" before we moved on to more interesting topics—China, oil, SLR vs digital, being unemployed. ㅋㅋ

On the way home I talked to Master about how I haven't been in class lately. I've always called in absent, but lately I've missed much more than usual and I hate that. Tuesday I had a coworker outing, tonight was a Labor meeting turned dinner date, tomorrow I'm going out of town. I don't think I've been to a Friday night class in a month and not necessarily because my life has been interesting. I said, "Are you mad at me?"

"No, Amanda. You very busy. Amanda..." He paused. "You are a movie star. It's OK!"

Sometimes I love that man.

An American educator moves to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is a more captivating activity.
