Short Update

I have been home for a bit over a month now and things have been up and down. But up and down is good. Leaving that terrible job in Anseong and coming home has helped me get a more balanced perspective about Korea and about my future direction.

Things about my past job have been affecting me more than I thought, especially when I started to look at Jobs in Korea online again, and even more so when sending emails to recruiters and posting information online. Korea is a wonderful place, and I don't want one bad experience to mess everything up.

I had one recruiter call me yesterday and one of the first questions he asked was "Why did I quit my previous job after 6 months?". I have no idea why, but I wasn't ready for that question. So, I just blurted out some generic answers. But this morning, I wrote down all the things that caused me to decide to quit that job. Three and a half A5 notebook pages worth, and still going.
