Ahhh

Wow, what a difference my new job is. Same people mostly but new office, new things to focus on. I'm able to make a difference in people's lives and in the company as a whole. I wake up happy to go to work. Just great...
Cutest thing happened today. I'm walking out of my appartment building to go to work this morning and I hear this little kid screaming at the top of his lungs "OMA, OMAAAAA". I thought he was being a little brat at first (Oma means mom) but then as I saw him and heard him scream I realized he was lost. He couldn't find his mom and was so upset and scared and I just felt so so bad. I kept walking to my car because I was thinking...what can I do for him? But man, I just felt terrible because he was petrified. I walked up to him and squated down and put out my hand and got him to come over. Then I walked him as he was still sobbing to the gate guards at my appartment complex. I speak no Korean so this was going to be difficult. I just said "Ajushi, Oma upso" (Mister, mom not here...literally)
He looked at me confused for a minute then at the boy, then he took the little boys hand and we parted ways. Cute story, eh? I was telling Seany that I wanted to keep him and Seans response was "you can't keep every Korean kid that you see." And my mom says I have no maternal instincts. :)
That's a short update on me in Korea. I'm going to go work now and then have lunch at TGI Fridays...tough life...
