So today I arrive at work and both master's are there speaking in Korean with each other. I greet them, they return the gesture, and immediately return to their conversation.
--[Just a heads up.. I recently changed my schedule so that I only work the first couple of days a week and the rest I don't go in at all; a big change since in the several months prior I worked full time 6 days a week including special classes and unpaid overtime. (I was there so much that I thought about bringing a blanket and pillow so I wouldn't have to waste my gas driving home)]--
Anyway, so I come in and on my desk, in it, and all around it are little sticky notes with my name written at the top (I have learned to recognize my name in Korean letters).
"Check it out", the Co-Master says, as she gestures to the sticky notes that are all written in Korean.
"Yes ma'am", I say and begin to stare at the Korean symbols.
Since I haven't been in the studio for, 5 days, I really do need to know what is going on, too bad I don't read Korean. Basically, as the Co-master finally realized that I didn't know what the notes meant, she attempted to explain it. The Head master, realizing then that his wife was having an extremely hard time communicating with me, interjected and explained. However, something he said to me didn't sit too well with the Co-master and then I got to stand there while they rediscussed their entire business mission statement in Korean.
At least they ended their argument within 30 minutes this time and I was able to get work done before I was sent to the outcast studio where I go to sit there and wait for a call to go to another studio where an angry parent wants to know why they have to pay for their child to learn Tae Kwon Do.
Ha ha, well At least the parent's speak and write in English.
