Most Definitely Going to Be Out of a Job

I had another one of those debate days today where I teach debate to the young Korean kids. It went well, but instead of the boss being there when I finished up (he usually closes up on Sundays), his secretary was there instead. She told me that the boss told her that the business was definitely failing, and that he's probably going to have to shut the whole thing down very soon. I inquired further from her, and she thought we might have a few weeks left before the business is kaput.

I'm not all that surprised. Yes, it does put me in a bad situation, but I've had enough warnings before this that it's not hitting me out of the blue. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do next. All of the schools have already started up in Korea here, so getting a solid job right now is pretty much not going to happen. I'm not even sure how to go about transferring a visa here in the first place, even if I can.

So, chances are pretty good that I'm going to have to book my own flight home and somehow fend for myself when I get home. I don't even know where to go right now. California doesn't seem like a great idea with its job market right now, but nowhere seems like a really great idea with the job market right now.

It's too bad things didn't work out, but it appears they didn't. I just now have to figure out what to do after this so that I can ease myself into the impact rather than have to take it head on.
