So many issues here and I’m over it

So, Monday my washer decided it wanted to be a dryer and well yeah, that’s no good. It started sparking and smoking. So, right now I have no washer until next week.

I told my co-teacher and he told the office lady yesterday. She called the homeowner and that person said that it is the tenant’s responsibility. My thing is, the washer came in the apartment and I didn’t sign any papers with the homeowner the school did. But I am the one that’s suppose to call the service center, get someone to fix it, and then pay for it? Really? And of course, this is all happening during the holidays which is why I won’t be able to get the call done until Monday. Then once that call is made it’ll probably take two days before a person can come out here and who knows how long it will take from that.

So, let’s just say I am highly irritated and so done with everything. After this contract is up I’m about 90% sure I’m leaving this school. I cannot deal with the smallness of this apartment, it’s not a place where I can cook freely.

I’m used to opening a window but the window here doesn’t have a screen so bugs can get in. That’s not working for me. Hanging up clothes basically takes up all the free floor space and it’s not even a ton of clothes.

To make it even better, the communication at work is horrible. I find out most things literally by hearing other teachers talking about what’s going to happen. Once in a blue moon, some of the other teachers might tell me something. Then, I have to go to my co-teacher and ask “Is there something I should know about this week?” in order for me to actually get anything told to me because of course “I forgot” is the first thing that comes out of his mouth. Like oh everyone else is told like a week before if not more but me? Especially when it’s something that’s going to cancel my classes and such, I should be told. That frustrates me so much. I’m literally kept in the dark about everything. Nothing is told upfront.

Then, the way they seem too chill with the kids. If a kid wants to be a legit brat they want to be all “Oh, they don’t feel like doing it. Maybe….” Like um nah-uh excuse me? They don’t feel like doing it? Really? I don’t feel like doing a lot of things but that doesn’t mean I don’t have to do them. They better suck it up and at least try to do the work. Tsk

I’m just so over this place. Completely done. Between horrible communication, people at work either forgetting or pretending I don’t exist, this apartment in general and the people at work not knowing anything about anything. Like, have your stuff together. How on earth does that school run? Then of course they can chat in classrooms with each other and never have I been invited to talk with them. I’m excluded constantly. I cannot do this another year. I will be looking for another job asap.

I also don’t like the fact it still takes me a while to get to Seoul. I’ve been here a long time, I need some convenience. I miss being able to have the subway to hop also instead of just the bus. If I can’t get a job closer to Seoul or something I’ll look for a job in China. Once again there is nothing keeping me here in Korea forever. If all else fails I’ll move back to the states. I’m just tired. I’m getting older and would like things to be more settled. Not living in a place that’s technically made for college students (literally), working with people that just don’t understand anything and can’t communicate properly. Nope. Just done.

Aside from that, I’m going to get my hair done in the morning. I need something new.

Well, until next time.
