I am an unsubmitted expense report...

Damn, the back of an OH is not as comfortable as I thought. It partly has to do with the fact that the two guys up front are tall so they scoot the seats all the way back, but also that the back does not recline, and that the angle is a little tight...it sucks. My knee and my ankle hurt. Okay, over it...

I love feeling useful. It makes me feel my worth, not that I should guage myself on how I can impress others. But I have to admit it does build my confidence, especially with I'm with these smart-a** engineers that have like 8 years more experience more than me.

Sportin the foaklies
This place is just like the US man, everyone's a freakin health nut. So we stopped at this place called Booster Juice. Yes, you guessed it, it's a wannabe Jamba Juice or Juice-it-up or whatever the hell else juice places we have back home. But dude, this smoothie I'm having sucks, it's not even smooth, it's icy and chunky...blech. Often imitated, never duplicated, he he he. But it's just funny how it's not home, but there's things here that KINDA remind me of home, but they're like sub-par imitations. It's like McDonald's and MacDowell's from "Coming to America." "They have the golden arches, we have the golden arcs." Ha ha ha. I love that movie. Anyway, so that's how it is...

I hate rebuilding repore(sp? and no, I'm NOT buzzed, he he he). We're currently going through a management shift at work. My old mgr, Tak, to whom I refer to as Shimizu-san, has been promoted and is set to leave for Japan. Our new mgr is Mizuno-san, I don't know what his first name is...well I do, but it's hard to pronounce. It's not an instant change, there's a two-month changover period so the transition will be as smooth as possible. I've talked to and worked w/ the new mgr on a few occasions, but still, I'm starting from scratch. I could just do things and take care of things w/ Tak, we had that connection, that trust. But not w/ the new guy, I have to build it back up again. Not that I don't want to, but it's always hard in the beggining.

3 more days...3 more days...
