It ain't easy being green
Mar. 18th, 2009 01:28 amOkay, look, it's St. Patrick's day, so to celebrate, I went to a baseball game and wore my green Hichori Morimoto #1 t-shirt and my green towel and green wristbands, and... and everyone's like "WTF is wrong with you Deanna-san, we know you're his biggest fan and all but Hichori is injured and won't be playing today, didn't you hear?" and I'm like "I heard, but today is a holiday where we usually wear green in the US, so I am wearing green! It's called St. Patrick's Day!" "Who is this Patrick-san?" "Nevermind."
But, as for the day, let me back up a second.
I had an interview in the afternoon. It went smashingly well, and just like the last few, the company might not actually have jobs to offer me. Sigh. If only I could find out WHICH teacher dispatching company is doing the underbidding and screwing over all the other ones, I would either interview with them... or more likely, punch them. Sigh.
I had more time than expected, so I came home and changed out of my suit and all, and went to the Tokyo Dome for the Fighters-Buffaloes game in the evening. ( I had an awesome time, but as usual I'm not really sure anyone feels like reading about it except my baseball friends. )
So by the time I left, I was laughing so hard I forgot the Fighters totally blew the game. I guess that's the point.
Now umm... umm... oh god, it's 1:30am and I seriously was going to try to be in Kamagaya by like 11am tomorrow so I can try to chat up some of the foreign Fighters players :( I have no clue whether that'll work at all, but Hiromi and Ojisan promised they'd save me a seat in the front row above the Fighters dugout so I guess I kind of HAVE to go. Whee.
I might have another phone interview tomorrow evening, though, so that's good. The vibe I'm getting from people is just, do your best, something WILL work out eventually. I hope they're right.
