I'm back!


This is a picture I took at work yesterday with my webcam.

I have been doing some translating for a Japanese company downtown. The need emails written in perfect English sent to their American partners in New York. Since none of the Koreans or Japanese at the office have any English skills really, the is what I do. Someone in the office will send an email to me, I make the English better and all business-like^^, and then send it to New York. When new York sends the email back, someone will give it to me and I will be asked to Translate it into Japanese and make it simple English for the Koreans to understand. Yes, it does sound difficult. And the number of emails is HUGE! OMG, I sometimes do 30 or 40 a day. So, this has been going on for almost a month now. Last week I was sick, sort of, and took the day off. They went apeshit! They called and begged me to come in. I didn't. The next day I sort of dropped the hint very tactfully and in Japanese, that I wanted to make my position more permanent. The day after that they offered me a job. They wanted to know how much money I wanted. I told them I would consider how much and tell them the next day. I actually had no idea how much to ask for. It is a lot of work to do. But I kinda sort of enjoy it. I asked J. J said I should ask them for 3 million won a month. I told them the next day and they agreed and began going into my schedule and what they accepted of me. I barely heard them as I was so shocked that they agreed to that much money. I will fly to Tokyo tomorrow as I need to get a new tourist visa and also I will visit my grandparents. They live there. Tokyo is a great place and my cousins who live there, the ones who are close to my age, always take me out and we have such a blast! Everything is so good these days. J and I have come to an agreement on Min-ha. If we have her, we have to have her together. Like a team, J said. That's all. I have to get ready to go to Tokyo. Bye!

    Congratulations on the job. You will probably be much happier there than what you were doing, and that's a good salary. Enough to be able to handle housing, food, transportation, etc., on your own. Good luck with that.

    I thought you quit your job???? How did you get another one so quickly? And, why are you working anyway when Mister Wonderful is supposed to be taking care of you?

    For the record angel, and you know this better than the idiot directly above me, I brought everyone here to marvel at you.

    I know you posted that pic just for me (don't worry I'm chuckling as I type this). You look great. But I thought I recommended a bikini shot? And what about Min-ha? Let's get a look at her too.

    J is living the dream, princess tell that guy to treat you right. Very influential American poker bloggers are watching him closely.

    Lastly you should be posting on my site more regularly just so these weirdos I hang with know who it is you're writing for.

    Keep it up baby, great stuff and Kushibo, if you read this, stop by my blog - I've been reading your stuff too, and now almost as fascinated by you as I am Mel.

    We should smoke a Newport Light 100 together sometime and paint each other's nails.

    Sorry for my desperate, mates. You must know that they sit behind a computer and player poker for hours and hours at a time and girly chat via IM, yes, they are winners...pifft. In any case, I wish you the best in dealing with these crazy fucks because you will have more stalkers than you wish now thanks to Iakaris (who looks like Robbie Benson if you want to know the truth, but Iak is a bit more metrosexual) and his crazy ass letter to you. Best of luck
