job-status update

Tomorrow is Monday. I have to visit the building where I work/worked tomorrow to pick up a new set of contact lenses (and that'll be the last time I visit a glasses/contacts shop run by a "sus" old man). I also promised my Korean coworker that I'd stop by our office to visit him. With his contract that lasts until June, he'll be working by himself since my boss and I both no longer have a reason to come in to the office (but more on that in a bit).

The boss called me a bit after noon today to say that he didn't get to talk with the CEO, but he did talk with one of the CEO's underlings from HR. The CEO, said the underling, was indisposed with the flu (convenient), so whatever the boss had to say could be said to the underling. The boss replied that he wanted to speak with the CEO directly, but he did end up saying a thing or two to the underling, anyway.

Upshot: according to the underling, even if we get a new contract for six months, we can no longer work in our office in Daechi-dong. The boss said fine, and that we could work from home (I wince as I imagine all the phone calling* going back and forth). Six months of that, then done. So this week, it's likely I'll be going to the office to box my shit up, then on the weekend (because the boss, who has his pride, doesn't want to be seen moving out), we'll use the boss's newly repaired SUV to transport everything to our respective residences.

Of course, we still don't know whether we'll secure a six-month contract. I imagine the boss will meet with the CEO... soon. I'd like to say this week, but who knows with that man? He's a flake who makes decisions only at the last second, and he ignores communications that are sent to him. Whatever. This will all soon be over.
