Corporate Ranks

Dude, haha, I’ve been “officially” been accepted into the “business”. Though, I got the rank of secretary… Damnit. XD

Maybe I should explain this.

GiSu finally came to play tennis with us today. :) We played several games of doubles. It was JinWon and I versus GiSu and Tiger. Haha, we played like 4 sets or something and JinWon and I (Team Dijyu) won 3 out of 4. Nice. During one of the breaks, they called me the Korean word for secretary and I was like, “…What does that mean?” They told me that since I’m part of the group, I am the secretary cuz GiSu is boss #1, DY is boss #2, Tiger is boss #3, and JinWon is boss #4. XDDD I took JinWon’s old position since he was the youngest in the group before I joined. Since I’m the youngest by a margin of almost 2 years, it’ll be hard to move up… But anyway, I had fun in figuring out the actual ranks.

GiSu: CEO
DY: Chairman
Tiger: President
JinWon: Vice President
Me: Secretary

We told GiSu that he owes us $10 because he didn’t come to our previous tennis sessions. Then he told me the “activation fee” is $100 for the “company”… OTL DAMNIT! Hahaha. I want to figure out a name for our “company”. Mustard United? Crispy LLC? Dalgona Inc.? Hahaha, maybe I should ask the actual Koreans to figure out a name.

Ahaha, damnit, I just got off the phone with JinWon and he says in actual reality, we are both more like the paper pushers in the company. OTL Livelihood is our paycheck!! We have to work hard to go anywhere in this business… I don’t really have to pay the activation fee, but I need to open a bank account. XD WTF DOES THIS ALL MEAN?! And where did JinWon learn “paper pusher”?

But anyway, I thought about this and it reminded me a lot of Cultural Anthropology. (Wtf, it’s been a year since I took that class and I hated it.) Probably for the rest of my life, I will never really be considered an “equal” with them in the group because my ethnicity is only 25% Korean and my nationality is American. So I have much more leeway than any one of them and I’m not so expected to show as many traditional customs. Oh, also being that I’m the only girl, I probably have a little more leeway on top of that. So I guess I see what JinWon means by when he says that we’re both at the bottom.

There’s much more to this than I have written, but I’ll just keep that to myself.

Ugh, I’m not looking forward to my suicidal classes tomorrow… Damnit.
