So Australia might be leaving come November 10. His parents come in a few weeks and they already have a flight booked and so to spare them cancellation fees, he's staying at least until then. November 10 is the payday after that so he'd wait till after he could transfer out his funds too.
I knew something was up when I asked him when he wanted to head out to boxing and he was lost in thought. He's normally an aloof and distracted guy, but not that much. And rather than answering, he asked me to get some dinner at Noodles Tree (note the elusive s at the end of Noodles that everyone misses the first few times going there). So we went and ordered udon. I got fried shrimp udon and he got koetsu udon. Both were very heavy meals so it was pretty obvious we weren't going boxing tonight. We'd puke if we tried.
He's usually interesting for conversation. Asks weird questions, has weird opinions, knows weird trivia and I like that. I can ask similar things. He's the closest I have to a friend in Korea so it'd suck if he went (especially since my break time, which already went from 7 breaks per week to 1, would be gone). But if he's not happy with the job, I'm not going to defriend him on Facebook or anything. I'm not happy with the job either but I find it tolerable and it pays well and I'm in a new country that's cheap to live in.
For now anyway. I can think of a few reasons I'd just up and leave without a second thought.
Anyway, I'm walking less than 5 km a week lately so I need to go for a walk tonight. And I'm going to Seoul tomorrow afternoon for a fireworks display with Australia and England. Minnesota and Wisconsin are headed to Seoul for a Killers concert. Fun fact: my boss during college was the aunt of the Killers's bass player.
