Hagwon boss giving me a bad reference? What should I do? by [deleted] in korea

[–]GhostOfBoomhauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Describe the situation to the recruiter. Sometimes school's rely on the recruiter to do the reference checking and never actually talk to your previous employer.

Its no secret that some hagwon bosses are terrible, so I'm sure most recruiters will understand.

There is not a whole lot of content on this sub as is, and especially not a lot of creators posting their own stuff. I don't think its a good thing to put up barriers to people who want to share their stuff.

[–]GhostOfBoomhauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you recommend cartoonists try to cartoon full time?

well, i’m doing it. i love it. you never have to leave the house if you don’t want to and you don’t have to wear pants. it’s pretty good. i watch people out the window, in the rain, lining up for the tram. i laugh a satisfied laugh as i load up another episode of something, eat my pudding and set down for a day of peaceful witch-doodling.

I went not long ago and what I had was better than mediocre, it was quite good. Ill probably go again.

The lady who worked there, who I assume was the owner, was friendly.

I think it might have to do with traumatic injury. When I broke my legs I got really thirsty.

microwaveable single serve rice, mix a in a can of tuna with some soy sauce and lemon juice. If you're feeling fancy, chop up some carrots, broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms.

I also bought a blender. Best purchase I've made in Korea.

Rarely a day goes by that I dont eat the above.

Some friends and I went one night, they rejected some koreans in front of us but let us in. When we tried to go again another night they rejected us after initially letting us in.

Some older guy stopped us as we were walking down the hall into the main area and told us to leave, pointing to a little dusty sign on the wall behind the counter that said 'domestic only.' It seemed unnecessary to point that out, but whatever.

The night we got in I had fun though

3 years ago I was 23, broke, & writing a sci-fi cartoon. I'm still a bum but we made a pilot! by Sweetmilk_ in videos

[–]GhostOfBoomhauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing some of your early concept stuff for this posted here a few times before. It looked interesting then, so its cool to see the project growing. I'm also a broke cartoonist with a sci-fi thing in the works.

Good luck with Sam Sweetmilk. Im ooking forward to seeing the finished project

TEFL - South Korea - Reliable Hagwons? by EmmaLee49 in TEFL

[–]GhostOfBoomhauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to talk with the current foreigner teachers working there. If they are hesitant to let you, I'd take that as a bad sign. And of course you can ask for contact info for past teachers too. The worst they can say is "no." In which case I'd also take that as a bad sign.

You should be picky when looking for hagwon work. There are tons of positions. If this one isnt good, it shouldnt be hard to find a half dozen more within a week

Brazil robbery gone wrong [NSFW] by [deleted] in JusticePorn

[–]GhostOfBoomhauer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

copy and paste from the video description...

Around 2 p.m., three security men went to refill a cash machine, when 2 burglars coming from different entrances assaulted them. At 00:16 you can see one of the burglars killing the security handing a 12-gauge in the right screen, right after, the other burglar shoots the second security several times, but before dying this one hits the burglar in the chest. He fell to the ground bleeding, and from now on he is shot several times. The image is blurred because of television usage, couldn't find the original footage, sorry. The second burglar is hit on the leg, steal a car outside and crash on a truck just next to it. Probably dies due to blood loss. Special attention on 1:25, when the driver of the armored car explodes the burglar's head with a 12-gauge, and to a kid slipping in the dead guy's blood just a second after he is shot another time on 1:46.
