Keep on Truckin'

When I was younger, after peeling off a mass of wallpaper in my bedroom so that painting could commence a message written on the wall in pencil was discovered. "Keep on Truckin'." This is exactly what I plan to do.

After a mentally harrowing week filled with incompetent English speakers I was told, via email, that YLS, the school where I work would be finding a new teacher because the Korean government has a huge stick up it's ass and doesn't want to give me a residency card. True I failed the drug test, however, there was a study done that apparently shows that it is very easy to fail this drug test. For instance, more melanin in the skin (yeah okay, this one doesn't apply to me, but still it illustrates the point) could make the drug test come out positive.

Well, quoting Lady Chablis from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil :"Two tears in a bucket mother fuck it." In a way this ruling is a relief. I don't like the school where I work, so moving on sounds like a wonderful proposition.

Once again I am job hunting in Asia. This time in the beautiful and cosmopolitan country of Japan. I really hope something pans out for me.

I do have to say though that I enjoyed a wonderful weekend filled with new friends from the Air Force Base and another ESL school. I  ate delicious Korean food (yeah that's right not all Koreans are obsessed with what they term healthy food and which I deem to be disgusting), went to a soccer match, and went to a place where you get a private room with your friends and you can sing karaoke until all hours of the night. I had a marvelous time!
