Hanging Up My Spurs [Korea, My Life, Engrish] — Wyatt @ 8:59 am

Well if I were a cowboy, that’s kind of what I would have done yesterday. If you are a regular reader of my webpage, you know that the school I work at added an extra class to my schedule, which did not really please me. You also know the following day one of my bosses told me that they were heading back to America at the end of the year. Additionally you will know that because of these two factors, I am less than enthralled with my current job.

Yesterday the non-departing boss comes up to me and tells me, “As you know Kyung-bin (the other boss) is leaving after December, so we are going to hire a receptionist. What are your plans?” Without even hesitating I blurt out, “Well, I wanted to learn Korean, so I think I’m just going to get a part time job teaching kindergarten and go back to school.”

So I guess I’m going to work through either the end of February, March, or April, since my contract is weird I’m not sure the actual ending date of work, but that’s it. There’s an end in sight for this job…so I guess I should find out about becoming a student here.

And before I leave you I should present you with this most excellent copyright violation I’ve ever come across in my year and a half in Korea. Yesterday on my way to work I saw a lady with a bag proclaiming “Disney Donuts” in the Dukin Donuts font. So not only are they ripping of Dukin Donuts (which is a pretty popular thing to do here in Korea), but they are using the Disney name as well.
