@satoshi213 Being ineficient pisses me off like you wouldn't believe. That said, Windows is my preferred OS ... how's that for a conundrum?
@shinpuren Has のりぴ been a bad influence to those innocent UK kids? Jeez ... globalism really is a bad thing ...
@Durf A good lunch, or one of those "we need to talk" lunches?
@shinpuren That looks rather unsanitary ... and potentially painful for the cat :o
@glen_malley That could probably be said for 40% of all employees everywhere, regardless of company, country, or culture ...
@jamesinjapan How did you explain quiddich, strumpling, and jigabord? It'd be darn near impossible to use my employers "method" for Potter.
Alrighty ... reports are done for today. Just in time for lesson #1 . Then some website design, and finally a class at a customer's office :)
@jamesinjapan I was kidding, of course. I had one student talk for an hour about the 3 kinds of kanji, but it was instigated by him, not me.
@jamesinjapan Ah, that's my bad. People come to learn English and French from me, then I use their lesson time to ask them how to read kanji
3 hours of German will give me the ability to introduce myself and order a coffee, yet this one guy expects to negotiate in German next week

@jamesinjapan Every morning's a good morning when you've got two scoops of raisins :D
@hanekomu ひどい~ ;_;
@kenleewrites Hmm ... maybe. Heaven forbid someone learns the fine art of balancing work and home :P
@glen_malley Indeed. Surely there have been other workaholics here in the past, though ... no? マイヤー ... time to focus on reports n' stuff :/
I should be a little more careful about what I write on here. Co-workers don't read my Tweets, but it's not impossible to see them :/
@Paul_Hartrick We have those, already... they're called "books". My wife isn't a technophobe, but she doesn't like spending 円 for it, either
Half of the Japanese staff here bitch and moan about how lazy foreigners are. I finish stuff on time, and they don't even pay attention. WTF
"$&'"#%$'"%$#"%$#!!!!oneeleven! I put something on someone's desk LAST WEEK and they just noticed it today?!?! Why do I even bother working?
Hmm ... can I unfollow myself?
@Paul_Hartrick Blasphemy! Apple releases yesteryear's technology when they deem us fool consumers ready to use them and not a moment before!
@Paul_Hartrick We have 3 phones (hers, mine, and the mother-in-laws) total about 11,000円 a month. She's a savings master ...
Alright ... time for sleep. Early day tomorrow, and lots to accomplish before noon. おやすみなさい...
Whoops ... passed 5000 tweets today without even realizing the nice round number! Now to catch up to @shinpuren ... :P
Ya know what I love about McAfee? It uses untold CPU cycles for the most useless of activities. Yay, Norton's not the only horrid AV tool!
