So, Bret had a meeting with his boss today. They discussed her plan for Bret. As it currently stands Bret's contract states that he will be here in Hong Kong for six months. Which would put us back in the states in mid February. This seems to be the plan that she wants to stick to. She has put an offer to someone to take over Bret's role here in HK and if she accepts the offer she would be starting here in January. That would give Bret a month and a half to train her. If she doesn't accept the offer then the plan would be to send the kids and I back in February and have Bret stay on some extra time until they find someone to fill the position, and then Bret would train that person. Either way, the kids and I are coming home in February sometime. I want a great big birthday party for Malik and I with lots of presents, a 3 tiered cake, a band (a good one) and Orson Scott Card to write a story just for me, and read it at the party! That isn't asking for too much is it?
On a side note to Risa, this is not public knowledge in the working realm, (one of the reasons I am not posting it on the Walls Abroad as many Pru people read that one) so mums the word until it has been announced in this office. Bret says that will be a week or two, depending on when they know if this person will take the offer to fill his job.
We still have no clue what Bret will be doing once back in Phoenix, but we will leave that up to fate. He has a couple of things up his sleeve if things don't necessarily go as he would hope. We are not worried. We are just happy that we have had the opportunity to be here in Asia. This is a wonderful place and we can now understand more how Nephi can love it on this side of the world so much. And it has been awesome getting to know Nephi better too since we are closer to each other time wise. Well, and distance too!
