Division 회식!
During 건배사 people thought I said 사장 instead of 자산 (‘I will be an asset to the company’). Well, 전무님 was thrilled that I want to out go him. So much for blowing my cover.
상무님 is pushing for us to take a picture together and send to my father.
I also did a Penguin dance.
Classic Thursday night
That there will be a day when I’m nit stupid at my job.
Cause right now I’m a fucking liability for my team. Teamed with a huge interest.
What takes my 선배s a few hours to do, I have to spend all day doing. Including 야근.
And I’m such a retard. The project I’m doing right now is not nuclear science. But I can see what a fucking clutz I am. I cannot get anything right, the first go. And I’m sure 차장님 and 상무님 have seen right through me and know about my two diget IQ.
I wish I were already a 대리 with a few years experiance. That I were the one teaching 신입사원 tricks of our trade. That I would be given ground-breaking, responsible tasks. That I were an asset to my company.
Today is my 꼴찌 day.
Is the word one of the 동기 오빠s used about his fresh singlehood (broke up with his girlfriend a few weeks ago).
Someone please get him off my hands.
The dude’s been whinning about being depressed all day (he is one of the lucky 신입사원 who, unlike myself, have nothing to do and 칼퇴근 everyday). When I asked why, he replied he’s lonely. Fine, I said and continued with the courtesy question about his 소개팅s (last time we chatted he had 3+ lined up per week. Not as spectacular as 기생오래비 선배, but not bad).
- 다 끊었어- he sobs.
I allowed myself to wonder why he needs to get a 여친 so bad. Maybe sometime spent alone will help him rethink his life, hang out with friends pick up new hobbies. Y’know. Shit I do all my life.
-ㅜㅜ 지금 짝만나야지 결혼하지. Was his answer.
Uhm. I mean 오빠 is in his late 20s. But than again not so much older than me. Just started a real adult life. Don’t you want to make the best of it before you settle down?
Apparently we both are in different points in life.
And it’s not only him. All my 동기s and friends are obssesed with 소개팅s and scoring a gf or bf/ potential wife or husband. Not to mention half of my friends in Poland (min-20s) who are already married, some with kids.
Nonetheless, I don’t feel the pressure. It’s not that as 백인 외국인, I’m no 소개팅 material. Or that I have no time in my schedual to squeeze a 남친. I simply like my life the way it is. Just me, myself and I. It’s not that I’m against the idea of a bf. I just don’t see who could (and would want to) fit into my already happy (with a drop of emo) life.
And yes, it confuses people when I say 결혼할 생각이 없다. Because why would I want to build a life in Korea, if not with a prospect to marry a local dude?
Really, silly Angry Polish Girl, why do you stay in Korea?
not a great spot to read and write. for that i recommend club espresso in buamdong.
But actually a wonderful spot for watching really good-looking people hit on and/or pick up other ridiculously good-looking people. Seen it happen time and time again.
well, i didn’t get any of that, though i did feel eye-groped by a lot of middle-aged japanese women.
Coffee Smith is an overrated and overpriced hang out place for the most shallow wannabe 강남 귀족 (real 강남 귀족 knows the place is passe). Penguin and I sometimes stand across the street and make fun of them. And they have the most horrid coffee. Just saying.
