Who Woulda Thought?

Just in case you don't remember all the quirks and bios of those that I work with the head foreign teacher of my school is Lorne, he's 29 and been teaching in Korea for 3 years. His wife, Mary Ann is 19. They met in December while Lorne was on vacation in the Philapines, she was his waitress, he was drunk. They spent the next week together and decided that they should spend the rest of their lives together. Due to visa processing problems with the Korean government Mary Ann actually only arrived in Korea one week before I did.

So they've spent roughly six weeks of wedded bliss together. (this is where the posting turns sarcastic, just in case you didn't catch the tone of this from the title).

For some reason or another Mary Ann has decided that I am her confident and she should tell everything to me. Not at all awkard being that I work with Lorne 5 days a week. They fight about big things, little things, one minute their happy, one minute she's threatening to pack her bags and the next minute she's on my doorstep crying.

Just to make things a little more interesting for everyone, I guess Lorne has also caught Mary Ann conversing with her ex on email quite a few times, and now has figured out her email password and blocked her from her own email. Nice. Now Mary Ann has a new email address which she insists on checking from my apartment. Even better.

Things are getting more heated by the day and my bet is another 6 weeks before she is on a plane back to the Philapines.

So lesson of this posting: If you meet someone on vacation and have fun for one week consider it to be a great vacation, don't consider it signs that you are meant to be together forever!
