I got to work at a bit after 1. I hung out for about 30 minutes then went back home to make food.
I got back to work at 3 and hid in the room where no kids go so I could read the Lonely Planet China book to get ready for my Beijing trip this weekend.
My boss pops into my fortress of solitude and tells me I should be reading the books to prepare for class. I look up at him and tell him OK. He starts this creepy pedo-ish chuckle that I hope I can get on video one day. I look back to my Lonely Planet book and act like I can’t smell his cigarette breath. He starts to walk out but some kid comes in with a tennis ball.
He yells at him in Korean and the kid yells back. After 2 minutes of that, my boss leaves and the kid stays. I ignore the kid for a while but he says “Teacher… Catch!!!” We start playing catch.
I open the window after a while because it starts to smell like kimchi in the room from the sweaty kid. Shortly after that, the ball flies out the window. I think the party’s over and I don’t have to worry about this lame game of catch anymore. I was sort of right…
He saw that the ball didn’t get caught on the balcony so he wants me to come outside and help him find it. I figure if I can find it first, I can hide it and the game will be over forever so I go out.
I take the stairs while he waits for the elevator. I find the ball in the street and put it in my back pocket. He comes out about 3 minutes later. I act like I don’t know where the ball is and I point down the hill. He goes that way and I follow him for a bit. When I get bored of that, I take the ball out of my back pocket and hit him in the back of the head with it.
Unfortunately, he was happy to see his ball again and we take the elevator back to the floor of the school. But I get on one of the computers in the smelly computer lab so I don’t have to worry about the game of catch anymore.
I left work at 6:30 (as opposed to my actual quitting time of 8pm) and I set up a dinner date with one of my best friends in Daejeon. We meet at 9:30 and end up staying out until after getting food, destroyed in pool many times, and dinner #2 which ends at about 3:30am.
I did work on pictures for a little while before dinner #1 but I still have a long way to go. So don’t expect anything new until … until …
So instead, read this blog post about Guy #3 by Seth Godin. If you read my blog and are interested in my ramblings, you’ll enjoy him a whole lot more. But please come back to one of my blogs eventually
