so i met steve last night, another former REI employee. he took me aside and BEGGED me to 'f**k monster over before he f**ks you". censored for the benefit of the younger readers.

bill was promised an advance of 300,000 won (about 300 bucks). monster said "i transferred the money on wednesday", and tonight bill was unable to access the funds. bill is at his wits' end, monster owes him 3 million. he has promised to pay him on the 9th; my payday is on the 12th. so who knows if he's going to have the 1.9 million he will owe me on that day?

so yeah, i'm still packed and ready to go. well not packed to the point where monster would get suspicious, but ready to pack. it'll take me all of 15 minutes.
