Such neglect!

September 11th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Family, Korea

I have been busy! Actually, I have been happy and not quite pissed off enough to write anything negative lately. On the occasions I have had an urge to rant, I have found myself lacking the energy/motivation to do so. I am sure this will pass, but for now, life is good!

My new job is awesome. 2 months in, and I have discovered that I work for a gem of a boss. Leaving a public school job and moving to a hagwon was the best thing I ever did!I would hazard a guess and say that having a western co-worker to rant with has also been contributed to my laziness here! My planned post on the failings of the Korean public school English(ee) program will come soon, as I have it in an almost completed state, but I don’t really fancy finishing it up just yet.

The wife has recovered as well as can be expected after her ordeal at the hospital. There were a few minor issues, and she had to return there for a few check-ups, but she has not been discharged from there and has no plans to ever return. The child has a doctor closer to home. There is no way they are getting near her again!

The daughter is fantastic. She is growing very quickly (she is over 12lbs now) and has a nice set of lungs on her. She loves to scream until she gets what she wants. She is calming down these days, and is often in a playful mood, which is nice. At the moment, she loves to wake daddy in the morning (as much as I protest, the wife wants her sleeping in our bed) by shouting at him, or smacking him in the face until he wakes up. As much as it annoys me, she gets great enjoyment from it, so who am I to stop her?!

A Personal Rant!

July 11th, 2008 | 6 Comments | Posted in Family, Korea

I have not had much chance to keep up with current issues in Korea as my daughter was born on the 28th June, just before 2am.  What should have been an amazing day ended up being a complete nightmare. The most efficient way for me to tell this tale is to repost an email I sent out to all and sundry after the baby was born. I was VERY tired when I wrote this:
