It’s Update Day
November 19, 2002
Yes! It’s the happiest day! Update Day!
I am very jealous of Dennis, Justin, and Michelle because although I am where they invented sushi, I would have loved hanging out with them. Sucks to you jerks for not inviting me. I’m not inviting any of you to my next sushi day. Anyone who is not Dennis, Justin, or Michelle is invited. Anyone who actually shows up will get free sushi and demon sake or something. Those in Japan need not try. Bleh.
I feel very settled in this place now. My job is routine and it’s not as boring as I used to think. I am meeting a new coworker everyday – whether or not I’ll get to know them remains a mystery. My Thurs, Fri, and Mondays are easy. Usually I’ll get a free or two on these days. Today, I had two frees and a no-show. So I actually taught 5. Sat and Sun are the worst days because it is almost certain that I get a full 8. It’s going to be this way until the new year because I’m currently still on “probation” – means they pay me less because I’m “inexperienced” (I’ve been teaching since second year university… jerks). I did see two streams of new people so far which means I’m placed lower on the priority list – the higher you are, the more you teach. Some teachers I’ve talked to who’ve been there for awhile get something like 5 or 6 a day on average (I get about 7 or 8 average).
Since working here, I’ve read more books, studied more Japanese, and used my Palm in more useful applications. I was writing a new About page on the old Palm on the subway for the last two or three days. I’ve created some crappy monthly income statement to guage where my money goes (I still don’t know). I am trying to play Bejeweled more because Eri miraculously beat my mega score of 230,000 by 20,000. She’s been quite gloaty lately… I MUST beat her score… for the sake of men all over the world. I’m looking at more webpages on it – I have used up the whole 2m limit given at AvantGo. I’m still looking for ways to use this pda more constructively… ideas? Veo.com is coming out with a camera for the palm and I’m contemplating getting it or a cell phone with a camera. Either one will suit the purpose of; “crude picture taker that’s easily transported and not too valuable”. Bleh.
That’s really about it. Eri is sleeping at her own house tonight. Which sucks. That made a lot of grammatical sense. Anyways, it’s my Friday night! I will spend my Saturday (Tuesday) cleaning up and watching tv that doesn’t make any sense.
