this kind of dirty just don't wash off

the tittle of this blog was going to be "i finally whored myself out" but i realized as i was talking to a friend last night that whores get paid... i did it for free. i'm like that person who sleeps with anybody to validate theirself, and never stops to wonder why nobody ever calls them back b/c they are already onto sleeping with the next person to make theirself feel better. sigh, my boss (actually my director asked me for the principal b/c i guess the principal is still mad at me for bringing up the fact that she isn't paying me for 27 teaching blocks a month (i teach for about 55 minutes a day for free(which i guess makes me even more of a slut))) ask me to write a 110-150 word piece to help recruit new teachers. i said yes because i like being helpful, but man, while i was writing it i kept saying to myself "man, i can't say that!!! oh shit, that's not true..." so i had to walk that fine line of telling the truth and not making this seem like YBM Gangnam is crappy place to work, trying to make faults look like selling points. i came up with lines like "the administration and parents take an active interest in the daily happenings of class" "the administration is open to receiving concerns that arise on the job and at home" and my favorite "with 5 months left on my contract, I find myself wanting to stay in South Korea for at least another year". what all these really said were a) parents will bitch when kids don't learn something well enough and also bitch when you leave the syllabus to spend more time on something they are having a hard time with, b) yes, you can go and talk to administrators about problems kids are having in class, problems with your contract not being fulfilled, and problems with the housing they provide you, and they will politely listen to you-- just don't expect anything to actually happen, and c)yes i want to stay in korea for another year, but i mention nothing about wanting to stay with YBM or even in seoul.
please, god, if they use my letter to try to lure some sap into this farce of a school, please let him/her be able to read between the lines and take none of what i say for granted. and please, people, if you see a letter entitled "dear prospective teachers" with the above lines in it and signed "sincerely, luke reschly"- politely finish your interview, stand up, put on your coat, flip them the biggest bird you can while shouting "suck on that" and run.
sincerely,
luke reschly

I don't care if this makes me king dork

i am fucking proud of this, and yes, i know it's ever so nerdy to post a chess game but damn it, i am proud of this game. it's just the way he fell apart at the end!!! moves 8-10 are where he fucked up (the trade left him with doubled pawns(the bad kind)), just a little wrong move that i sat on and sat on and sat on till he just came apart at the seems-- I loved evey minute of it.
