lifes little greats

[allblacks]

Making USS car auctions/sellers take responsibility for their mistakes has to be one of my greats for today. Ive been screwed by these fuckers so many times. Some nong wrote the wrong description about a car and ended up copping my request for a partial refund. Its justice after all the times they screwed us!

Redtube marathon!

[Junken Master]

That's not the kind of mess I was talking about

[sirwanksalot]

I was messing around in the garden and I noticed a dog walker hanging out having a gander out of the corner of my eye. I live in a geriatric farming community so I figured one of the obaasans was checking out my ass. About a minute passed and the dog walker said konnichiwa. I looked up and saw the hottest woman I've seen in a long while! I'm making it a point to be out in my garden every day at 5:30 so I can see my new friend!

Careful wanks, you start dipping the wick there and EVERYONE in town will know. Maybe BEFORE you!

I'm happily married. Never strayed. I wouldn't do that. I don't mind small talk with eye candy though.

[Langslave]

Im similar, does add a spring to your step tho doesnt it.

Most defiantly!

[SamhainP8]

Yeah, it's nice to have a handful ( ) of backup plan fantasies!

Met one of the assistants from the last job for a chin-wag over coffee yesterday, filled her in on the details she didnt know about my leaving and corrected the "mis-information" the boss had fed her. Then she told me that when theyd had their meeting for their assigments for the new term, as usual they were asked which teacher they preferreed to work with, and they all said "Langslave!". She went on to say they all agreed I was a calming presence for them while I was there (as compared to some of my foreign brethren...), and the whole mood of the place was quite dark and down now. Cheered me up a tad that did.

Wonder how the ex-boss will think about your absence.

Reminded me of a former job where the boss complained about a very popular teacher who left and "stole" some of her students and started his own school. Gee, maybe you could have done something to keep him as your employee...

[Langslave]

Unfortunately shes not someone capable of looking at things objectively, and cannot imagine that shes ever wrong about anything, so shell just carry on as before and probably piss off more people even more in the process. While I was talking to the assistant yesterday too, it became evident that of the last 5 F/T foreign teachers thatve left there over the last 4 years, all but one left in a similar frame of mind. I remember the last two guy having regular slinging matches with the bitch. But she never learns. She has absolutely no "people skills" as the term goes these days. I wish her nothing but the worst.

Walking stereotype, that sort of eikaiwa owner. I have written of my experiences with such employers in TGTBTU. Funny, they both thought they were "unique". Being a short-sighted, criminal control freak is hardly unique in this industry. Sad.

[Langslave]

Back in the Nova days almost all the managers we had were women (I recall only 2 men but maybe 11 women) and on more than one occasion a student would say having a female manager must be hard. But I had almost no trouble with any of them, quite the opposite in fact. Maybe 2 were problems. Most of them were nothing like this cow. And yes steki, a lot of it is about control..."her will be done".

[steki47]

And yes steki, a lot of it is about control..."her will be done".

"She Who Must Be Obeyed"? I remembered you are a Hammer fan.

My last eikaiwa gig had a male owner and we talked about the differences between female and male owners. Talking stereotypes here, but female owners seem to have more of a maternal drive to "protect" (control) their investments. Men seem to be better at "hunting" and having a wider perspective on the situation.

I personally prefer working at larger companies, as the general bureaucracy can create some consistency and no one person can run a fiefdom.

[Langslave]

Thats exactly the word..fiefdom. Thats how she runs the place. The king above her has bestowed this place on her, and she runs it as she sees fit. Better stop griping in here I spose.
When you say Hammer, do you mean Sledge Hammer? Ill have to go and dig him out and give him a watch, havent done that for ages. And I have a cuppla episodes of Duckman somewhere.....

[steki47]

I was talking about Hammer Films. But yeah Sledge Hammer is good, too.

[Langslave]

Ah yeah, do like the Hammer films too. Got a few of them lying around here somewhere.

Back to your ex-boss, maybe this film is better:

[SamhainP8]

Does God have a belly button?

[Langslave]

Ahh yes, Ilsa. My brother recommended that to me so I had a quick look on the net...found the SS officer begging her to give him a shower

[allblacks]

I have my m-in-law and bro-in-law coming down for GW. This will be interesting. Thats for sure. They are both really great people its just my place is not so Japanese any more. See how it goes. Its been a long time since they visited.

[sirwanksalot]

Beach front hotel and the surf is going off right in front. Had Buffalo wings for dinner last night as well.

[Raelene]

Azaleas! Everywhere! Big and small, red, pink and white.

[allblacks]

USJ is a fucking nightmare but I went to hard rock cafe with my crew. Drank up a storm and had a good feed as well. REALLY good in small doses is HRC.

[Raelene]

I was talking about Hammer Films. But yeah Sledge Hammer is good, too.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the Kate Bush song.

[Langslave]

Dont you mean the Peter Gabriel song? And thank the lord my wallet was handed in. Went out in the thunder and lightening to get it from the cop shop, relief.

[Raelene]

Don't you mean the Kate Bush/Peter Gabriel collaboration? Something about don't give up?

Yeah, three times in my life I've lost my wallet. Two times it was returned. Both times were in Japan ....

[SamhainP8]

A toss up on which thread to put this in.

Last day of holidays.
Consoling myself with a 'few' BLACK TOOTHs.
