I am hot and I am tired.
UGH!
I have been sleeping terribly the last couple of days and I think it is because it has been damn hot at night. I have been waking up covered only in the sheet, Li has the quilt, and I have no desire to take the quilt back.
Work is a little boring at the moment. There is nothing exciting going on around here. Everyday is the same ol shit. I seem to exist in this little vacuum of my own world. The life of Sumitomo does not seem to have any baring on my life. I guess I should not complain as I dont want to be involved too much with the place. They dont listen to ideas anyway. I guess I just need some sort of stimulation, some sort of challenge in life. I have actually gotten pretty good at teaching and there is only a minimal challenge now.
Every once and a while I want to try something totally new. Only problem is that I have reached that point in my life where I am stuck between the desire for change and the realities of life. I am 30 with basically nothing. Sad but true. At least here I get a pension and a home and a regular paycheck. Priorities in my life have changed a bit. I want a family so these things are even more important to me now. I have been pressuring Li to look into the National Pension scheme here so that there is something being set aside for him as well. I have a holiday on a Monday in one week to do my drivers license so we will check out the pension info for him then.

Mr. Uesaka just scared the shit outta me!!!
I went over to the tea machine to check to see if the tea I had ordered arrived yet. I bent down to open the door and Mr. U was behind me waiting to get some tea. The tea was there and before I closed the door we were slightly interrupted by the other secretary who needed to confiscate my scissors to open her snack candy. I turned to say something, cant remember now, to Mr. U and he puts on this surprise face and points at the machine. I turn and look and do a two second freakout. The annoying shit had put one of these stupid tiny plastic lizards on the top. Well the damn thing had not been there before and startled me just a tad.
He is now walking around the coffee area with a very satisfied smug look on his face that must be abolished!
Little shit!
I now have a freakout headache and have remembered another reason why I do like this job. I have been here long enough now that I am not a foreigner and am treated a one of the family. Feels good.

This blog has taken me all day to write. UGH!
