Kringlish Bigbossman

Well, it has almost been a year at my school and my bosses are trying to convince me to stay. I got pulled into the office of the principal, who barely speaks Englishee. He made sure to have his yesman there to translate for him, though.

Bigbossman: *mutters something in Korean*

Kringlish Canadian Yesman: Boss says that you’ve worked very hard for us this year.

Me: Thank you.

Bigbossman: *something in Korean*

Kringlish Canadian Yesman: Boss says that you’ve worked very hard and that’s probably why you lost so much weight.

Me: Thank you very much. *is surprised he said something nice about me*

Bigbossman: *yet more Korean*

Kringlish Canadian Yesman: The boss wants you to know that he thinks you looked better fat.

Me: ...

Well, isn't that just the icing on the cake that has been my year at this school. Just a little while to go. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching and I love the kids--even the criminally insane ones--but I can’t stand working for these people anymore.
