The 사무실

Transcripts from a “frustrating-when-it’s-happening”, but “funny-in-retrospect” foreigner-infused Korean workplace.
Gaston : Rolanda…any idea why Mr. Smith thinks he can to get the visa in Italy, but it’s not his home country?

Rolanda : Hmmm…not really sure.

Gaston : As far as I know, Mr. Smith can not get his visa there because it’s not his home country. Any idea?

Rolanda : Well maybe because it’s the European Union and it operates a little like the USA? You know…like when a person from Chicago goes to Los Angeles to get his/her visa and just needs an address in Los Angeles to be able to get it there? I’m not really sure how it works in Europe though.

Gaston : Rolanda…you need to understand the Korean Immigration laws. Why does Mr. Smith think he can get his visa in Italy when it’s not possible?

Rolanda : Maybe they lied to him?

Gaston : What you don’t understand are the Korean Immigration laws. Why does he think he can get his visa there?

Rolanda : Maybe he lied to us?

Gaston : You are not understand the Korean Immigration laws. I don’t understand why he says he can to get the visa there.

Rolanda : Maybe it’s because the European Union operates a little like the USA and you can get your visa in other countries. Not really sure though. Just a possible explanation.

**While going through the motions, I’m imagining what the next statement/question could possibly be!!! This is what I imagined in my head. Please note that it doesn’t actually happen in reality, just in my head.

Gaston : You don’t understand the Korean laws.

Rolanda : Picks up her co-worker’s stapler and chucks it at Gaston’s head.

Gaston : You should have to understand the Korean laws. Why does he go to Italia consulate?

Rolanda : I don’t know.
