... of no internet at home. They are giving me hell-and-a-half about sending my modem to me. It's supposedly on its way now, but they've said that two or three times, now ( Read more... )

Yeah! Pull the scary angry American act on 'em. You're like five times bigger than they are, so throw the fear of god into the little buggers. XD

Hah... I actually had to get my supervisor to try and fix this problem. The latest time he actually "pulled rank" by mentioning that I'm employed by the Mayor of Anamizu... he emphasized "Mayor", so I'm hoping that the third time's a charm and they get their asses in gear now.

i feel your pain. i was forced to use my two middle names because all of the stuff i filled out in the beginning required my name to match my passport exactly, which has my two middle names. not to mention that my school goofed up my name on everything they did for me before i came.. a ラ instead of a レ and an extra long sound. which is annoying because i specifically signed all of my emails with my regular english name AND my katakana name in all of my correspondence before i came. *sigh*

so yes, i only got a keitai 2 days ago and i'm still trying to get internet from yahooBB. :(

Ewww. Yeah, you definitely had a similar experience, then. I got my keitai early, but only because I provided an American credit card. Everything else has been a royal PITA. Not to mention the insistence upon using my last name first, then first, then two middles, even when they have to correspond with my bank in the US, which confuses my own bank...

Wow, that would suck. I'm only on day 9 or so, and I'm sick of hopping a bus or walking 15 minutes just to get online. Hope it arrives soon.
