So today at work was a total fucking write off. It was annoying, hilarious, and just fucking stupid mostly. It is halloween right? So we are having 2 days of parties at work. So my managing teacher has a chip on her shoulder or somehting and it sort of pissed me off today, so I was taking part in the passive aggressive olympics. If there is one thing English speaking Koreans know...it is passive aggressive. So, I am being a cock all day...just in a wrecked mood for various reasons.
So we have the first halloween party...one little girl cried for a complete 1.5 hours. Now that's energy!
The second party was what started to kill me. So we were playing games and we moved onto the face painting. So this kid goes up to my managing teacher and says "Can I have a gun?"...so sure enough she paints a gun on his face. I look at it and seriously my jaw must have dropped a metre. So after a while, I go up to my British co-teacher and say "Look at Christopher" So he does and responds "what is that? looks like he has a cock and balls on his face" I LOSE IT...just laugh my ass off! Nobody else flinches. I guess they don't know English as well as the think.
So thinks are regular after that, we go onto the third party...the middle schoolers...or shall i say the too cool for middle schoolers. So they come in and my managing teacher starts blabbing in Korean and then asks me to help. I look at her, with my co-teacher and say "what's going on? we don't understand Korean" so she explains...not 5 minutes later she is going off in Korean again explaining a game to children of are good enough to understand what she could explain in English. This time I am pissed and say "Hey, what's going on in my language?" It was validating. I embarassed her a little. So as the class goes by she tells us to do some stupid shit, to which we refuse and she bitches at us for...whatever though.....She asked us to tickle the kids...pretty sure that would make me a pedophile to tickle some 14 year old korean girls....
After the parties are over, we have presentations for project class. I am sitting there, and one my my favourite students is up there talking about her favourite song. I look up at the screen as she says her favourite song is "Love is Sweet"...but the damn slide says "Love is Sweat"....Just as I look up, the British teacher looks over, and no word of a lie, I very loudly say "oh shit" and burst out laughing...right in the middle of her presentation....and all I hear is...in a lovely British accent is "Yeah, love it sweat sometimes" I just buried my head in my hands and convulsed to hold back the laughter.
On the bright side of my day. After work, me and the Brit went to grab a coffee and when we walked in, the lady spoke English, had an espresso maker and a pamphlet with a Canadian flag as well as a copy of "The Little Prince".....I wish it was the french version, but I was happy to see it.
