Death Cat

I just got jumped by Tiddles. After suffering numerous claw wounds to the forearm, I am now quietly reacting allergically. Ow.

In other news, it looks like CEC may not be heading for the fifty students we were hoping for… Despite our advertising efforts, we have so far only got one new student (and even she`s not fully signed up yet). This business lark is harder than I suspected!

Ben out.

Sushi and strawberry cream cake

It was Yuki`s birthday today, so we went out for sushi and came back for cake.

The bummer is that it has started raining again 🙁

Ooops

I just left my Japanese homework at work (I`m at home now). My class starts in just under two hours…

All fine and dandy, except that it is freezing outside and I haven`t actually done the homework yet. So even if I went and got it I wouldn`t be able to finish it in time.

Dammit.

Back

Okay, I`m back. Although from the temperature outside, you`d never know any time had passed. It`s around 2 degrees Celcius today, with a biting
wind.

Today is “cut 10% from the budget” day at work. I overheard my supervisor joking to another member of staff about how they were going to have to cut my salary (he was joking apparently). That kind of joke I can probably do without.

Especially as I don`t have a contract for next year yet.

On a brighter note, this may make it easier for me to get this job
reduced to three days a week. Fingers crossed!

Happy New Year!

Greetings, my non-existent readers! I know it`s a bit late to be doing the HNY stuff, but I figured I would try to get it in before Feb. Hope things are going well for you.

Here everything is much of a muchness, the Mid-year Conference is over and things are settling down a bit. Sendai is still really cold.

We got through 140 litres of kerosene last week. Wow.
