My Journey To Work

Tim Bray was the person who presented this blogging challenge to me. The challenge is to document your journey to work. I live in Korea, in a suburb of Seoul. Check out these “Journey to Work” posts: Tim Bray, Ben Sheridan, Kerri-Lee Beasley, Clint Hamada, Kim Cofino & Jess McCulloch (the one who started this).

This is my journey:

Shoe area in the apartment entrance. (Koreans don’t wear shoes in the house.)

Four flights down to the street.

Our street. Heading to the bus stop.

One of the many neighborhood farms. People farm any open plot of land.

Waiting for the bus by the corner store.

Here comes the school bus.

My wife & son on their daily sprint to catch the bus.

They haven’t missed the bus yet.

Middle school entrance.

Must……have……COFFEE!

Elevator to the third floor.

The ed tech office.

My desk.

 

My New Coaster

Unfortunately, hard drives don’t last forever. But you can keep using them. Here is my friend Kevin‘s external hard drive shortly after it died.

I love opening electronic equipment after it no longer is in use, so that’s what I did with the hard drive. I left it sitting on my desk after opening it. I started using it as a coaster for my coffee cup.

A few days later I came across some of those rubber footpads that are used to keep things from scratching up your table. I stuck four of those to the bottom to keep my “coaster” from scratching my desk.
