Basic courtesy generally prevails, but it is not uncommon to get a kakao message late at night in one of the many groups that I am unfortunately a part of. I ignore anything that comes via kakao unless it is directed straight at me or requires a response specifically from me, but it's still annoying.<br /><br />I'm also pretty sure that a good number of my colleagues don't understand why I don't want to spend time with them outside of our normal working environment. I get along with them fine, I just don't feel like spending my personal time with them. I would much rather, for example, go on a trip to Gangneung with my wife than with my colleagues--especially when they end up drinking for the entire time anyway.<br /><br />(Yes, I did just get back from such a trip yesterday. I will never do that again if I can help it.)Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-3813690058068758972023-02-14T02:21:46.988+09:002023-02-14T02:21:46.988+09:00John from Daejeon,

I was just surprised because you rarely make errors like that, so I figured they were anger induced.<br /><br />(some of the errors in the above were intentional--just me trying to be funny again.)John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-76158061066737995262023-02-13T07:22:08.051+09:002023-02-13T07:22:08.051+09:00I found three errors.

When you re-read it, you will see why.<br /><br />Back in my working for the Army life, I'd get late-night calls occasionally, but they were usually for some justifiable reason.<br /><br />Now that I'm retired and living in the Philippines, I don't have work issues to deal with, but I do often have to invoke the mantra my first Pinay girlfriend taught me: Take a deep breath. Relax. Accept the Filipino way. You might need to come up with something similar when dealing with your CEO.John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.com
