Trying to think about my next moves. I already know what projects i will be focusing on, however, my team at work is dissolving faster than cotton candy in your mouth. First my direct is leaving, now our ad ops manager is leaving, and rumored to leave are s a couple of other important people. Is the writing on the wall? I am in a tough spot, because I like my job, however the company has lost its way after getting bought out.
So now I am thinking about what to do next. Should I go after another job or stick around until the whole thing sinks? I’m inclined to stick around until I land funding for one of my projects so its one less thing to worry about. Dang it…I was so close to finally getting a 1 year review too. it would have been my first ever too. Now thats pretty much down the tubes.
Well, on the upside, this may mean that I may move…to where I dont know. Vancouver? San Francisco? SF is the most likely candidate, especially for funding and finding tech talent, however I like Vancouver, especially during winter. So we’ll see what happens over the next couple of months.
We are supposed to move to the parent company offices next month, so we’ll see how much shuffling around there is. I imagine there will be quite a bit. I just hope they dont move me to El Segundo. I’m sure they wont, but you never know. With my luck, thats exactly what they’ll do.
I should’ve just stayed in Korea. Not only because I like just hanging out there, but more so because I just don’t want to have to deal with this bullcrap. Seriously. Oh well…good luck to all of you that are/will be leaving!

On my way back to the airport from Seoul, I had some time to reflect on the trip and there was a big glaring example of synchronicity that I found intriguing. On my last day there, I ran into Sunyoung while i was walking towards school. Granted she scared the poo out of me by pulling right up next to me. But it’s not that. The real thing is how the whole time I was there, I was texting her and I had assumed she got the texts because each time I sent the texts to her, she wouldn’t reply, but she’d show up wherever I was. Granted I was also texting Soojin, but still. I wouldnt have found out though if I didnt go back to school to see her on last time with Seung-kee, and she got a text and i joke that it was prbably from me. And she said that she never got any text from me today.
Anyhow, she also went and gave me an umbrella because it may rain, and even though I refused them from other people, she went and got me one and wouldnt you know it, it started pouring balls as soon as we left the school.
So weird. I am secretly hoping that Seung-kee and Sun-young hook up…or at least be good friends. =)
Aside from that, the trip allowed me to just recharge my batteries which was desperately needed after all the debacles I’ve had in both my personal life and professional life early this year. Too bad the whole thing seemed like just a dream. Each day was full of things to do and seeing friends, that it’s all just a blur. I know what I did, I just couldnt say when I did them.
All-in-all, it was a much needed vacation that was just too short. Can’t wait to go there again.
Another interesting thing was how many people I had in-depth discussions with whether it was life or about careers…I definitely drew my life-pyramid scheme a few times and each time I do it, it renews my conviction of working my butt off to get towards my ultimate goal.
Another renewal is how I seriously LOVE korean girls yet here I am stuck dating chinese girls…need to figure out what to do about that.
Ok thats it for now. I wish I could go back for Soojin and Sunyoung’s art show but it’d definitely be dangerous if I went back now, because I would probably buy a one-way ticket. haha.
Time to get back to work and on track!
