changing asia, one sack-punch at a time...

bill got paid today. he was owed 2.9 million won.

he was paid 150,000 won.

i get paid in two days. i suppose i do not need to tell you that various forms of matter are churning in my lower intestine.

also-i found out some bad news. if i want to stay in korea, i have to stick it out until may.

here is the reason: i have no E2 visa. you absolutely must have the real copy of your degree IN HAND when you go to apply for work here. wonny and the girls pulled some strings, and no doubt the fact i'm working at a shit hagwon is because i am quasi-legal. well, illegal. so, if i bail on monster, i can't work anywhere else in korea, for fear he'll report me to immigration.

so, what will happen is this. i will stick it out until my degree arrives in may. i can't receive it until may, though i've completed all the requirements, processing and shit. i am certain that i will get paid in full at least for this month, he doesn't want me to pull a midnight run.

so if i get paid shit for the next three months after that, i'll still have about 4 grand in the bank to go do what i want with. when my degree arrives, i can get any job in korea. i either have to bail to japan or taiwan or eat shit for 3 months.

more later. i'll tell y'all what happened with bill and my payday on wednesday night.
