Finally, all those years of hard work barely studying Japanese and scraping by with Google translate are paying off!
I got a voicemail from the catering place, so I pointed my phone at the computer and it says I need to call the place back regarding my order.
Oh no. Doom.
I don’t even like calling places back in English, so I hope it’s not a complicated situation. That’s why I placed my order on the online portal.
I call back. Ask for English? No. Damn. Okay. He speaks really slow and simple. I get half of it. Struggle. Ask to repeat. Back and forth. Ok, he just needs his box back. Got it!
Turned a 15-second ordeal into a 6 minute conversation of uhhhh ummmmm anoooooo etoooooooooo
BUT HEY I DID IT!!!!! Yayyyyyy
