Trouble in Paradise City
Boy was I wrong in yesterday’s entry! Lifeless day at the office? Ha! Shortly after writing that entry my supervisor gets off the phone and tells me that Theresa is down stairs. I was a bit confused but, I thought maybe she came with her translator just to say hi to me, or ask a silly question. So, I quickly ran downstairs before my supervisor because I didn’t want him to talk to Theresa’s translator and find out that she was living with me. Too late! Theresa was at the booth of the office that gives the alien registration cards. Theresa’s translator had taken her to pick of her gaijin card at my town office since she was living here. Big mistake! When my supervisor got downstairs he told them not to give her the registration card because she can’t live at the apartment. Once that was cleared up, we went up stairs to talk to the superintendent and the other boss, his title eludes me. We apologized, and tried to explain that this was temporary. I think they bought it, and gave Theresa one week to find another place.
Theresa, her supervisor, and I went to have lunch to talk things over. That’s when we told the woman that we were trying to be secret about everything, but now that it’s out in the open, we have to change those plans. The translator is going to introduce Theresa to a host family and try to see if they will accept mail for her, and help her get an alien registration card. I also figured out, Theresa can get a phone through me, so she actually doesn’t need the card at the moment. Well, hopefully things will work out.
