Tomorrow's Decision

Tomorrow's decision by my director will greatly effect my next step in Korea. I asked to receive full-time benefits and salary for only working a few hours a day. I want this so I can work at another school in the afternoon, therefore maximizing my earnings.

The meeting this afternoon went alright. I mean, he didn't laugh me out of his office, but I certainly didn't get an "Alright, what else do you want?"

I find out tomorrow and then phase two begins or phase one starts over. Hmmm...I'm not a fan of either phase. I like phase 65: Retirement.

Showdown...

It's 430 and I have not had lunch yet. I'm a little tired too, but have to stay fresh for my 430 negotiation with the devil (or if it goes well, god) himself. I'm aiming high, but expecting low. It's not because the boss is that bad, but because I'm asking for what I think is fair...in the West.

We'll see. The showdown begins at high 430pm. That's the high noon of Korea.

New Gigs

I'm looking in all sorts of places for all sorts of new gigs. I have the holy F-2 visa, so I can be picky, but it is frustrating. I'm shooting for two full-time teaching jobs which isn't that bad, but getting the timing all lined up is proving to be a pain. That, on top of the fact that 고 and I will not live in a one room studio any longer.

I'm battling it and I'll win it. This has been taking away from blog time and I apologize. I'll be back in full swing soon.
