After nearly two years of scrambling to build and manage a new institute essentially by myself (it's been two bosses and one person who actually does all of the everything), we've finally hired a new guy! And with that I finally got the promotion and raise that had been promised to me at the beginning of the fiscal year last summer, since I finally ( Read more... )

Congratulations on the job offer! That is rad, after all your hard work~ And on the promotion, even if it will be relatively short-lived :D

Your spiralling Bun-chan feels are delightful. Sneaky sneaky KanJu, worming their way into your heart.

Thanks! I really feel like this is one of those things that's come together for me after, what, six years of studying Japanese/Japanese stuff and then two more years of working to put myself in a position to be noticed, so I'm really excited to see how things go in Japan and where I'll go from here. :3

And ahaha it's terrible but I feel like there's no coming back from this Kansai hole so I'll enjoy it as much as I can. XD

Thanks to Brigit, I feel like I have an appropriate icon for this comment.

First off, congratulations on everything! Seriously, you've worked so hard and you deserve all of it. Ahhhhh, I'm just so happy for you~!

You have it SO BAD for Bun-chan, but it is understandable, really. He's pretty great and very fitting alongside Nino and Pikachu.

(I rarely check livejournal these days, but something was telling me to check it. I'm glad I did.)

Thank you! I'm happy for me, too. ;A; And eager to hear back details on when exactly I'll be getting a job and moving to Japan, but I'll do my best in my new role in the meantime!!

I definitely need to write Bun-chan a fanletter. I'm not sure he'll quite get it if I explain to him that he's achieved Nino/Pikachu status, but surely everyone in my life knows that there's no greater honor.

(You must have felt it coming! I have been enjoying writing about myself more these days, so maybe I'll drag you back to LJ with me. >:D)

Be sure to take white noise moments, though~ As you do already~

Dude, DUDE! You should! I'm still working on mine to Marius and Sakamoto, but fanletters! I'm straight up going to admit my reaction was "about damn time" when I read your tweet.

(Apparentlly! Just like how I easily could have replied by going through my e-mail, but I felt it was necessary to go through my flist... :l If you drag me back... (I'll probably write an entry next month, tbh.))

I'm so pleased for you! Re: job offer because man, you've always struck me as a person who knows what she's doing and does things that need to be done. I hope it works out! And hey hey, I'll be in Nagoya next January - if you're there by then... /waggles eyebrows

Thank you! I do my best and it's just really nice when people recognize it, so I'm optimistic about the new adventure coming my way (and eager to just get some official news back XD).

AND OH HEY this is good to know. *_____* I'm hoping to be there by the end of the year so January will for sure be a possibility...!

Congratulations on the promotion and the job offer! That's so exciting~ And Nagoya is a really nice central location, so that's awesome. Concert tours go there all the time, too :3 I'm excited to be able to meet up in Tokyo!

And I'm still getting used to this whole Having Favorite Feelings thing even though it started back in November, so... let's both roll around in indescribable but good feelings together? XD

Thank you~ :3 Sad I won't be a little closer to my Gunma Girls, but appropriately timed trips to Tokyo will be all the sweeter for everyone involved, I think. :D

"Indescribable but good" seems like a good, if indescribable, way to put it. Ahhhh what have these boys done to us?
