I told myself that I'd be more productive today. And I was. Sort of. Out of bed by 9:00 and tackling stuff that I forgot to do in quitting Panasonic. My boss even had to send a follow up text.
I alternated between organizing our schedules and playing Diablo 3. I finally finished another of the objectives. That, and uploading stuff from my harddrive to my OneDrive account. I couldn't get it to work with all the rest of our laptops.
Also got to sign up for the gym finally. I didn't exercise yesterday and today!

It still irks me how a customer felt so comfortable to tell me that I'm fat. Aside from that very rude customer, I quite like working at the store and talking to different people.
I went with O-san this morning and it took us from 10am to about 2pm to remove and install the kitchen ventilation hood and the new stove. I liked talking to that customer because he's traveled quite a bit and has also been to the Philippines (though just in Cebu).
In the afternoon, I was mostly with F-san... cleaning airconditioners and installing a wall electric fan.

Can I just add a follow up?
I'm in another long distance relationship and though we're both making the effort of meeting every week, it's also draining in a whole different way.
Not only is it tiring to travel to Tokyo from Osaka and vice versa, it's annoying to have to get used to being apart after being together for a weekend. And don't make me start with the costsI really shouldn't complain cause I hardly pay for it.
But yeah.

But yeah.
After Golden Week, we had three and a half weeks of working at a factory. I never thought I'd experience working in a factory and it was draining physically and emotionally.
So much so that I just couldn't be bothered to write anything about it.
And right now I'm in the middle of my sales training and I'm googling how to tie a summer scarf. Life. Feeling every bit as unmotivated.
Right now doesn't feel so permanent. I don't want it to feel permanent because if I have to move to start a new life with someone, then there was no point in this except as a spring board to a potential career in that new life.
How's it going with you?
It was raining here in Osaka/Kyoto. Was it raining there too?

Good thing that whole thing with the factory shoes were cleared up.
I caught a night bus from Osaka to Tokyo that night. I love night buses because they're cheaper than bullet trains and I have time to clean up my room and bring my suit to the cleaners (this again) before I disappear from Osaka for several days.
VIPLINER Experience
I usually take Willer Express because it's one of the nicer ones. A trip will cost around 6000 JPY (as opposed to 14000 JPY on the bullet train). This time, though, I booked a trip with VIPLINER(you pronounce it as it's written, NOT vee-ai-pee) because word-of-mouth is that their seats are more spacy than Willer Express. I should have figured out I booked the wrong bus as it only cost me 4500 JPY. It was your usual touring bus (the one with blue seats) with curtains between seats. It wasn't all that spacey but I guess it was worth it because they provided a pillow and a blanket. I figured out that the best way to get yourself comfortable on these overnight rides is to put a pillow behind your lower back as these seats don't fully recline. I just have to book the right bus with that company and make sure I get the ones with seats that fully recline.
April 29, 2015 Showa Day
There's a holiday called Golden Week in Japan where most public holidays occur. Showa Day (yesterday) is a holiday in honor of the late emperor. Golden Week isn't usually a whole week but some companies put in company holidays on days in between the holidays to make it longer. In the case of my company, some departments still have work today whereas mine doesn't. Tomorrow is also a company holiday so Golden Week for me is from the 29th until May 6. My boyfriend wasn't so lucky.
A Day of Gaming
We spent the day alternating between playing games on the Wii U. We played Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, and Mario World. We also watched an episode of The Office, which I always wanted to get into. The first episode was weird. It's not usually the kind of humor I get into but let's see.
Wrapping up the day
Dinner at this expensive sushi restaurant where we each had 7 pieces of sushi, a plate of sashimi, and two bottles of beer for 19500 JPY. I say this because it pains me. I appreciate the surprise but I've never been one to like spending so much on food as I'm pretty satisfied with food served in most restaurants. Now to figure out how to discourage him from bringing me to those kinds of places.

As much as I love the dormmate beside my room, I didn't appreciate it when she told to HR that I can pick up the factory shoes from the other office when we were both already back home. I had to pack and I didn't need to try to fit the shoes cause I got the right size whereas she didn't.
Her excuse is that she has to meet her friend at 6:30 -_- you're the one who needs it. Why do I have to be the one to get it? Tell your friend to meet you at a later time. Priorities.
