Me: I’m going to work outside and enjoy the nice weather!
Construction: Hell no you aren’t.
Is this really the last day of Pumpkin Spice Latte? ):
Anyone else notice the red/white sumo shirt on the guy in the 2nd row on Saturday (he was there on Sunday too, but, in a more normal polo; and recorded most of bouts on his phone so was really obvious to spot)? More importantly, anyone know where to get a similar shirt?!?
What do I have to keep in mind if I want to quit my job without next one lined up yet? How much would I have to pay in taxes/health insurance while I am unemployed? Is there a good/bad time of year to do this tax-wise? I am a citizen.
man, did the weather switch into fall FAST this last week of September. I felt like last week I was still carrying around a change of clothes and deodorant for a day out. Now I’m chilling in my room with a fan on and the window open.
Japanese weather obliges the 和’s demand for 四季
Oh, found some avocados in the 見切り品 section of Gyomu today and immediately made several BLT+A sandwiches. I forgot how much I missed them. Technically I can buy them, but 150yen for one that’s probably artificially ripened does not sit well with me (even though they’re more expensive back home haha).
NTV’s Announcer Miura Asami has been out suddenly since last week. Starting to worry…. it was always nice seeing her on ZIP! every morning. Hopefully she’s ok and nothing serious going on.
Really debating going to Hello Work to see if there’s a way to strong-arm my work into reducing my workload due to it making chronic illness management difficult…if the status quo continues I might not be physically able to work after a decade. No idea how this process works….or how the chain of command in the process works.
Supermarket has 14 kinds of spaghetti (I counted) but no fettucine or linguine, and like one variant of tubular pasta. Please Japan, types of pasta exist other than spaghetti.
Had an interview today. I feel like shit although I worked hard for it… because I know I have very little chance of passing the interview of my dream job ): It feels like buying a lottery.
And the result will be revealing in 2 weeks damn that’s long
Just something that makes me chuckle, but my kids are weighed and have their height measured every month, and the results are sent home on a little card.
I write a little smiley face to show I’ve seen it, and one time I thought “I’ll draw a guy giving a thumbs up.” It’s a small space and I suck at drawing, so when I was done, I looked at it and said to no one “That guy is flipping them off.”
Everytime I see that whited-out part, I remember.
Forgot my birthday was yesterday, a bunch of fellow international students pitched in to help a little with tuition. 1k 円 here, 500 there, and it’s looking like I might not have to leave due to not affording the tuition. I was so stressed that I quite literally forgot my own birthday.
Cried a lot, was a great evening, watched a horror movie and ate udon for dinner. that’ll be a memory forever.
