da fly in the ointment, da monkey in da wrench, da pain in the ass

Something big happened while I was away for a month:

As I discovered tonight, the SSG Food Market has disappeared on me! If you read Korean, you can see that it's going to be replaced by Shinsegae Department Store Food Market (Shinsegae is the company's preferred romanization, not mine), opening sometime in December. I'm curious as to what the new place will be like, but it's a major inconvenience to discover that a store you rely on for, say, Thanksgiving food shopping, has suddenly packed up and skedaddled. I'm in the midst of improvising, adapting, and overcoming.

  1. That will be a major pain in the ass until the new store opens. Hopefully, it will be better than the one it is replacing, although I don't recall you raising any serious complaints in the past.

    The worst part is the inconvenience of "going out" when you need to pick up an item or two. Especially now with the weather turning cold.
