Drama!

Ok. Quick post. So, everything is shut down today. The president of Nova got fired, and the government has taken over Nova under some special law. There is a good chance that it will be going bankrupt in the next few days. In a way, it's good because now we know what's going on and it won't just keep dragging on. The bad news is that you need to have been working in Japan for 3 months before you can be entitled to any unemployment insurance. With Nova gone under, it's likely that our landlord is going to be kicking us out before long, and still no real leads on a job. Unless something develops quickly, I'll probably need to get a ticket home, and maybe I'll come back and try again in a bit. The uncertainty was ok when I at least had a place to stay, but I don't have enough money for a place to live and I'm not sure I can keep waiting for a job if I'm going to lose my apartment. Anyway, if anybody knows where I can get cheap plane tickets, let me know! It looks like it's $2000 for a one-way ticket, or something like half that for a round-trip ticket. Not sure if I can just get a round-trip one and cancel the second half....
