Korea -- interesting and "exciting"

[herveus]

I found an interesting book in the nightstand in my hotel. The Teaching of Buddha. Parallel English and Japanese texts (it's from a Japanese Buddhist society). Thing Gideon's Bible, but Buddhist. I find this amusing in a good way.

Getting to Korea was suitably boring. I was offered a promotional code that allowed me to use the WiFi on the Delta flight to Atlanta for free. I used the time to read my daily comics list and to burn my adventures in Kingdom of LoafingLoathing. The flight to Korea was occupied with reading most of Storm From the Shadows.

Meanwhile, getting anything actually done here is delayed for a presently unknown time due to someone going on TDY and not telling anyone else so the paperwork processing they do could get done by someone else. Until that paperwork gets processed, I can't get into the ID system here which prevents me from actually getting work done. That then means dealing with hotel accomodations in Seoul which may get quaint and picturesque. Hopefully we get a better handle on this Monday. *sigh* At least I'm cooling my heels on the Seoul per diem and not the Daegu per diem rate.

I'm going off the the local rapier practice this afternoon, so there's something to do.

They handed me one of those promotional cards when I got onto a Delta flight this week. It wasn't until I asked a flight attendant after the flight that I found out "We don't have that on this plane." Sigh.
