Monday evening, I meet Yamada and das chairman. I still have a chance to screw this up, which is completely out of the question! No pressure! Now, despite the criticalness (is that a word?) of the situation, I'm actually not as worried or panicked as I potentially could be, the point being that Yamada has gone to a fair bit of trouble to get ( Read more... )

I have a cold... again... fuck. Nose is being a pain in the ass. This isn't as bad as last time... yet.
Lots of people have it right now, it seems. It's that time of the month year.

I lose on the Arcade expo, someone else at Eve's company beat her to the extra ticket. Oh well ( Read more... )

Manager's pretty pissed off that I don't intend to renew the contract.

JLPT score came in today...
合格/PASSED
I am one lucky little bastard, as it would seem that they round up the percentage with .5 rule as math dictates, because my score actually 59.5%. Would have sucked to have failed with that. What's frightening is that one more wrong answer and I'd have been toast. I did actually clear ( Read more... )
