But come on. <br /><br />I just give the most obvious non-answers possible. AWHere she's concerned, my grandfather is floating on a miracle cloud of the best brain/lung cancer ever and nobody in the whole family is upset about it at all. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. <br /><br />Bitch.I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-75694893691555591342010-04-09T09:31:38.496+09:002010-04-09T09:31:38.496+09:00It's like she considers the world around her t...It's like she considers the world around her to be her own personal drama show and she felt you were ripe for another plot twist!<br /><br />Should tell her to leave the Soap Opera attitude at the living room couch...Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631267390742283872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-57422313764386512132010-04-08T18:28:12.379+09:002010-04-08T18:28:12.379+09:00Nathan -- Basically.

"No."<br /><br />"Oh I thought there would be." And she just went back to eating. <br /><br />Lovely.I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-45905718447461569392010-04-08T18:12:16.459+09:002010-04-08T18:12:16.459+09:00My god, this woman is as thick as two short planks...My god, this woman is as thick as two short planks...Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631267390742283872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-13540515901635977612010-04-08T16:04:04.757+09:002010-04-08T16:04:04.757+09:00Anon -- I mean hagwon teacher, former.

I guess she heard that public school teachers have it easy or something, which is hilarious, basically. I don't know what her teaching situation was before, but an all boys' middle school of 1,500 in a rough-ish neighborhood was definitely not the right choice for a follow-up to whatever it was. <br /><br />The rest of you -- haha.
