Update

So this morning it was "put to me" that my boss was wondering if I would be quitting since there had been "rumors" of my intended departure. He stated that he wanted to know... with if possible more than 4 weeks notice since the schools in Korea are having a really hard time recruiting. Since the secret is now out.. I can post about it.
Today I gave my notice. As of January 31st, 2007, I will no longer be a Herald Media employee... and as of February 1, 2007 I will be going home to Canada. I have applied for post-graduate studies... and fingers crossed I get in... but right now I am going home to just go home. I feel that my time in Korea is spent... and I promised myself that once I was not longer happy I would go home... and well that time has come.
I am still going to go to Thailand on the 1st of January... but China is out.
Oh well... the funny thing is... the more that you look forward to something the slower it seems to come... as of today 40 days until Thailand... 72 days til I come home.
Anyhoo... in some way it is a relief to have it out in the open... yet I am still angry as it was not anyone to say anything about my business to my boss. Oh well... karma is a bitch.
Cheers!

Trudging along

I had monday off... though it was really more of a day of busy work than a vacation. I had to go to the airport to get a reentry permit for when I go to Thailand. Overall it was pretty uneventful, but it was quite a challenge having to leave the airport... especially without having gotten on or off a plane. Oh well... only 46 more days until I go to Thailand!!!! WOOOHOOO!
Things at the Village have seemed to calm down a lot... most of it seems to be because I am trying to keep my head low and myself out of the line of fire... that being said it is still a pretty sad/stressful time. Oh well.
Other than that, nothing is new. I am in the process of cleaning house... I never knew how much stuff I had gathered over the years here.
Cheers!

3 day weekend!

AHEV has now decided that we are going to have weekend shifts.. so Shelley and I drew the first rotation. This is actually quite fine by me... since this weekend will be a 3 day weekend to compensate for the loss of my upcoming Saturday.
I finally asked the nurse to take me to the doctor's yesterday... I lost my voice and was coughing really bad. So at lunch she took me to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He said that I had a cold and gave me meds for my cough... then... pushed on my stomach and asked if it hurt. "Yes" I answered, thinking "dude you just pushed hard on my stomach, of course it is going to hurt"... turns out that I have an ulcer (or the beginnings of one)... he said that that is increasing my feelings of crappiness... and his perscription.... wait for it now.... "stop eating chocolate and be less stressed!" Are you f'n kidding me????? First of all... being less stressed is really easier said than done... and "B", you eat chocolate when you are stressed.... it's desserts spelled backwards for goodness sakes!
Urgh... I guess I am going to have to find another outlet for my stress until I can have another way to make it go away... though I think that my upcoming trip to Thailand will be a good start.
Cheers!

Rant... or sort of.

Things at work at pretty bad right now... and the stress is affecting my health... that is all I am going to say on this issue right now because I am trying to abide by the Bambi code.... "If you don't have anything nice to say... don't say anything at all!"... and well... my lips are tightly sealed right now.
On happier news... only 61 more days until Thailand! Man I am jonesing for a vacation right now.
Cheers!
