Deskwarming, its a term that all English teachers in Korea know. Im about to become a pro at it. What is deskwarming you ask. Well lemme tell you. I show up to work at 830, do whatever the hell I want for 8 hrs, then head home at 430. Wait what? The week before Christmas I was deskwarming from Monday-Thursday because my students were taking finals. Im doing it this week on Wednesday-Friday because the school year just ended here in Korea. I have around 5-10 more deskwarming days in January.
Why do I have to come to school and literally just dick around on my computer for 8 hrs a day? Good question! Its basically because I am only allowed a certain amount of vacation/sick days a year and every other day I have to be at school. Sounds dumb I know, but whatev if they wanna pay me to sit and do nothing thats cool with me. During this time I am supposed to be planning my future lessons...so the lessons I will have when the school year starts back up at the need of February. Not likely thats gonna happen.
The part that actually sucks is that most of the other teachers do not have to be at school during that time, so I dont have many people to talk to while Im there. (Brady why dont you complain about your awesome job some more) Your right I have nothing to complain about. But anyway now if you ever here me mention deskwarming you will understand what im talking about because im literally getting paid to warm a desk. Damn you Korea, your making it waaaaaay to hard to only be here a year.
