A month or so had passed and Tom decided that Mr. OH was getting on his case about finding out he was not staying in the apartment and was living with his girlfriend. Well, Mr. OH asked me how come Tom was no longer staying in the apartment and I told Mr. OH, he would have to ask Tom that question but I was not about to lie when asked by my employer if Tom was staying in the apartment. All I said was he does not stay there and hasn't for quite some time and I have no idea as it is none of my business where Tom stays or what he does in his personal life.
Tom decided after the heat was on him and if he did not stay in the apartment that Mr. OH had threatened to terminate his teaching contract with Prime Language School. Well, one day that week Tom decided to move his stuff back into the apartment. The only thing was Tom expected to get the same room he left behind. And he stood in the room and put his hands on his hips and gestured that he was moving back in and for me to move my stuff out of the room he left to go live with his girlfriend. And I said. "Like hell you are". He lunged at me as if to attack me. Well, I had about enough of this guy like Kurt did in one of the Star Trek movies. He started removing my personal things and moving them to the other smaller room.
And as he did I picked up a chair and beat the holly crap out of Tom and chased him out of the apartment the same way he had done to me at night. This time the sun was shinning and I chased him in the opposite direction down the hallway and attempted to give him the same treatment he had given me by getting ready to throw him over the balcony the same way he had tried. What comes around goes around.
Over the years since then Mr. OH and I have been great friends every since. In fact he and I tried to start a recruiting business together hiring ESL teachers for Asia. We gave it the name "Prime Recruiting and Placement Service" in May of 1997 when I had finally got burned out after 17 months straight of teaching ESL for Prime Language School and the Immigration situation we went through due to Tom finally being fired after he and I got into the tussle in the apartment.
John another bad apple that had been one of the first teachers Mr. OH had hired got into an argument one night and got right in Mr. OH's face about some situation as to this moment I do not recall what it was or what is was about between Mr. OH and John. John and Tom were good friends and John defended Tom at every turn. Well both John and Tom let immigration know that I had worked for Mr. OH illegally for two months and we had to go to immigration.
I almost got thrown out of the country for teaching on a vacation visa. In the meantime so that it would never happen again I admitted every school I had worked at except for the very first school. The one school that I first got my feet wet for the first month back in December 1994 and taught not only in classrooms, but in peoples homes and Korean factories.
A few years later I ran into Greg again and he told me what happened after the driver came to pick me up. Greg said that he had no idea where I was and as far as he knew I was in my bedroom, but he told them that he thought I was feeling depressed after all December 1994 was my first month in South Korea. He told them he thought maybe I committed suicide. Greg said it took them the longest time to finally open the door to discover I had packed my bags and was gone.
I decided to quit that job and find another teaching job and I did. I found another job at another school and quit. The new school manager helped me move my stuff to a motel then they move me to a more suitable house. In mid April of 1995 I quit that Job in Seoul, South Korea teaching ESL in the third largest city in the world too. Because they would not get me a bed to sleep on. Then after leaving Hawaii I worked at Tun Tun and quit that job too until I was hired at Prime Language School by Mr. OH, two weeks later.
When I first returned home to the USA from teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in South Korea at Prime Language School in Kumi City, in the center of South Korea. Where Mr. Byung Wook OH (owner of the ESL Schools) and I had became good friends. While I was employed by Mr. Byung Wook OH as English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher at Prime Language School for seventeen months.
I left in May of 1997, to return home to the USA because I was worried about Mom and homesick. I wanted to be closer to her in case she needed me for some reason or another. While I was teaching English as a second Language ESL I had saved $7,000.00 and invested it into the business venture that eventually failed after I ran out of money and I could not sign up any teachers. It was a partnership between Mr. Byung Wook OH and I. Even though he was willing to pay me a salary, I wanted to do it on my own as a business partnership, that we are still trying to get the recruiting business venture up and running, with no success, after all these years and still no success at hiring teachers for Mr. OH and Prime Language Schools.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
What is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of mental illness that causes repeated unwanted thoughts. To get rid of the thoughts, a person does the same tasks over and over. For example, you may fear that everything you touch has germs on it. So to ease that fear, you wash your hands over and over again.
OCD is a chronic, or long-term, illness that can take over your life, hurt your relationships, and limit your ability to work or go to school.
What causes OCD?
Experts don't know the exact cause of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Research suggests that there may be a problem with the way one part of the brain sends information to another part. Not having enough of a brain chemical called serotonin may help cause the problem.
Some experts believe that a problem related to infections, such as strep throat or scarlet fever, can suddenly bring on the disorder or make its symptoms worse in some children.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder tend to come and go over time and range from mild to severe. Anxiety is the most common symptom. For example, you may have an overall sense that something terrible will happen if you don't do a certain task, such as check again and again to see whether the stove is on. If you fail to check, you may suddenly feel tense or anxious or have a nagging sense that you left something undone.
Symptoms of the disorder include:
Obsessions. These are unwanted thoughts, ideas, and impulses that you have again and again. They won't go away. They get in the way of your normal thoughts and cause anxiety or fear. The thoughts may be sexual or violent, or they may make you worry about illness or infection. Examples include: A fear of harm to yourself or a loved one. A driving need to do things perfectly or correctly. A fear of getting dirty or infected.
Compulsions. These are behaviors that you repeat to try to control the obsessions. Some people have behaviors that are rigid and structured, while others have very complex behaviors that change. Examples include: Washing, or checking that something has been done. Counting, often while doing another compulsive action, such as hand-washing. Repeating things or always moving items to keep them in perfect order. Hoarding. Praying.
The obsessions or compulsions usually take up a lot of time-more than 1 hour a day. They greatly interfere with your normal routine at work or school, and they affect social activities and relationships.
Sometimes people may understand that their obsessions and compulsions are not real. But at other times they may not be sure, or they may believe strongly in their fears.
