Office bitterness
Theresa arrived yesterday so I now have someone to vent all my frustrations. She’s going to be taken to her school today and hopefully get set up with all the bureaucratic necessities to get by in Japan. I get to enjoy another lifeless day at the town office. I don’t have the translator today, so that means I sit here and let my soul and dignity burry themselves in a rice paddy outside. On a not so brighter note, I have to prepare a speech in Japanese for my introduction at the School’s opening day ceremony on Friday. I wasn’t really nervous about it until I bombed my short introduction at the opening ceremony for a three day camp for about 15 students. The kids were quite lifeless and didn’t respond to my cheerful “Good Morning!” So I’m hoping the kids at the junior high on Friday won’t be such retards.
