So... to add to my already gloomy mood, there have been even more delays with my Korean visa and I honestly don't know if it'll go through at all. I lost it and howled for about ten minutes and then started applying for jobs in Thailand. Enough is enough.
However, my wonderful father, who's handling the Canada end of all this, made several calls on my behalf and thinks we can get this sorted, not in time for my job to start, but eventually... so I may stay here if I can get a decent position (unlikely at this time of year) or I may just take something for a couple of months and then move on to Korea. Public schools have a bit of a second hiring period around September. All may not be lost.
Even before this, though, things were not great. Ayutthaya was fun, but made me sad. Otherwise I've been very much a hermit and for once it's very much because I want to be. I just don't want to see anyone. I suppose I should try to force myself out of this, but I can't summon any desire to do so. I'm not particularly having a bad time, aside from the fact that my self-worth is based very much on how much I'm contributing to society, and right now I'm contributing almost nothing except for helping 7-11, Pizza Company, the veggie shop, the bakery and chefsxp.com continue their work in Thailand.
(I have to really recommend chefsxp.com to anyone living here, by the way. They have an amazing variety and while it's slightly on the pricey side, I do try to vary my diet from time to time.)
Anyway, as for contributions, I wanted to start a new blog project and after some consideration of Things I Know Something About, came up with a game review site aimed at more casual gamers. Randy immediately jumped into this project headfirst and so we've created Alice Gets Fragged, which is turning out to be a lot more work than I would have expected, but hopefully will end up being something. We shall see. If we can direct the kind of energy we have in our conversations into this website, it'll end up being pretty awesome, and to be honest, summoning up that kind of positive energy is probably the best thing for me at this point.
