Business Eating/Drinking Tips

Salutations. LOL!!!

I have been sleepless for quite some time and have decided to update with some Korean business drinking/eating tips. LOL!!!!

1. Before you eat when food first arrives on the table, wait until your supervisors/elders start to eat first.

2. When drinking, never "one shot" unless told otherwise...especially on the first shot.

3. When a supervisor/elder shot glass has been emptied, pour the alcohol for them with two hands.

4. Also when you pour a drink, it should be by age first.

5. Before ordering a super expensive dish/entree, make sure you aren't the only one. Check the vibe and order an entree around the same price.

6. When doing a "cheers" shot "clink thing", make sure you put it below the shot glass of your supervisors/elders.

I'm sure there are more but I can't think right now. It's small things like these that people look at sometimes...poor john couldn't get it right....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Just be mindful of others before yourself and you should do fine. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem* SK

Wow. I never want to be in a Korean corporate dining situation ever.

Lucky to be alive

I almost died today. Not in the way that everyone says to emphasize a point. I really almost died today. My car is totaled. I will upload pictures at a later time and date.

Why do all the bad things happen to me?

When it rains, it pours.

Adios~

I told you it would be for only about a week. Not even.

We win. =)

Peas of a Pod

Another day where my best friend at work is not here....soooooo quiet and lonely. No one to get my corny jokes.

As a side note, my best friend at work sold me out to her dad. His laptop's screen is cracked. A minor issue to replace with a new screen. Just takes some time to do it but the part itself is more than what I had expected. My prognosis was for her to contact the company and see if they can do it at a reasonable price. So days pass and I go to church. He sees me and asks how his laptop is doing. Immediately thinking that she didn't tell him the situation, I said good. He thinks that I have been working on his laptop for the past couple weeks without any results. I asked her to resolve the issue by calling customer service but she forgets.....maybe on purpose. Nonetheless, I can not go to church until this issue gets resolved. How unfortunate.
