This post is for my Mom, who has apparently decided that I must be lying dead in a Tokyo gutter if I'm not glued to my computer for 18 hrs a day. Which has been, largely, the case.
Anyway, today started out like any other day this week...that is to say, crappy. It was pouring...pouring...rain. We're not talking light Oregon rain, we're talking soak-your-ass-to-the-bone-in-a-matter-of-minutes rain. I was going to walk to the train station, wearing my suit and carrying my bag with my dress shoes neatly tucked inside, but opted to take the bus, instead, due to the heavy rain.
Bad, bad idea. Traffic here in Ichikawa, and maybe everywhere in Tokyo, travels at a crawl. A slow, slow crawl. Naturally, the rain stopped the second that I got on the bus, and, also naturally, I hadn't eaten breakfast and was furious as a result. Not good.
On one of the 500 train transfers required to get anywhere here, I lost my umbrella. And by my umbrella, I mean either the house's or one of my housemate's. Fuck. I also got turned around in the station and had to ask twice for directions. Inconvenient, to say the least.
Long story short, I met my contact, went in for the interview, and all was well and good. I'm hired. I start Tuesday. Hell yes. First good news this week, and it's really good news.
