Another Piece Falls in to Place

and by that I mean I got my extension at Moonkkang. Contract is signed and so my plan to work until next fall in Korea is really coming together.

I had looked at university or public school jobs but they would both be a pay cut, which is not what I need right now. My foreign boss, Lynn, has indicated that my staying until the end of next November is okay, though for now I am signed through October 31st 2014. It will allow me to leave with three years pension, two years severance and cash for a flight.

The more I talk about this plan the more right it feels. My good friend Kris may well be moving to Taiwan next month which would give me yet another reason to move there. I also have contacts in the Philippines and Thailand. With 2015 being dissertation year it seems the right time to head off. I have talked to Mike (who I am doing this program with) about moving at that time. His contract is up Dec. 2014 and I believe is of the same opinion as I am regarding Korea. Everything seems to point to an exit at or before the February 2015 date I had blogged about previously (though a revised Dec 5th 2014 date seems more likely now).

To finish my time in Korea at Moonkkang is great, as they are far and away the best company I have worked for in Korea. Here's hoping for 15 smooth months.
