this is why i am pale.
itsdaejeondarling: Fucking hell I hate managing people. Here is my advice: If you suck at your job, stop sucking at your job.  Ways to not suck: 1) Be proactive. As in, get off your lazy ass and FIND me if you have a question or want some feedback. There are so many people in this building and everyone always has an urgent question ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I mentally schedule time to see you...

 charliesuh replied to your post:This End of the Year Recital is going to be the death of me. I don’t mean this to sound rude or anything but take your time Jdub!

Csuh, your words are always appreciated <3  And...

Official Tumblr Meetup | Seoul →
If you live in Korea and you still don’t follow the above blog, you should. Tumblr is a wonderful community and Tumblrs in Korea are even better! I may be a little biased. But, still. A great way to meet people - anddddd there’s even a meetup in the works for next month!

soniassi: Hearing about one decision being so final makes me want to never own a house. I don’t want to be so involved with an enormous nest that I have to fill with stuff that I can’t pursue things I’m passionate about that may possibly be located in other cities, states, or countries. If a house and a car and a bunch of furniture and a huge TV and a stackable washing machine dryer and a garage...

My missing package has been located!
Hurrah! I’ll be receiving it tonight *fingers crossed* To be honest, I care more about the snacks soon to be in my mouth than the Christmas gifts (polaroid and clothes). Priorities.

Never trust a company with a high turnover rate.
If only 1 out of 4 English teachers and 5 out of 20 Korean teachers are staying with a school, it means one thing.  Don’t do it.

Arghhhhhh.
Phi Phi (ferry) + Phuket (minibus) + Phuket Town (bus) + Phuket Airport (plane) + Bangkok Airport (plane) + Beijing Airport (plane) + Incheon Airport = 36 hours of bad planning A 12 hour layover in an overly large, FREEZING Beijing International Airport + a total of 5 restaurants + 2 currency exchange stalls + NO FACEBOOK/TUMBLR = ridiculous and never again I will appreciate my trip tomorrow....
