awesome job interview, snow
So last weekend I went up to Kanazawa to see Jon and have an interview at his company called D-link. It wasn't so much of an interview but having his boss take the both of us out to an expensive restaurant, eating a delicious steak dinner, and having two bottles of expensive wine. The boss dude really liked me, and at some point he left to go to the bathroom and I asked Jon how it was going. Jon said, 'It's going great! He loves you... it's already decided.' And so it looks like I've got an awesome job lined up once JET is over.
When the interview started he was hating on my beard, but by the end of the night (and after two bottles of wine) he was fascinated by it. While waiting for daiko he was sitting next to me on a sofa and he was just like, 'Can I touch it?' I was all 'uhh... yea... sure...' and he did. I'm used to my elementary school kids and girls I'm hitting on wanting to touch the beard, so it's only natural a j-dude would want to as well. Funny thing is this man was 46 years old! Only in Japan.
After the weekend in Kanazawa (where I got AMOGed by some dude with one arm) once I finally got back to my house I couldn't park cause there was too much snow in my driveway. I tried to just ride right over it but even my mighty Daihatsu Mira couldn't tackel the mighty mound of snow. So I got my car stuck and had to shovel it out.
I'm gonna be sad about leaving my job as an elementary school ALT cause the kids are really awesome. Hashiya-san (the secretary at Hagino) says that the town may not have enough money for an ALT so the homeroom teachers are gonna start teaching ABC Time instead - but it may not be as fun as it is now. That makes me really sad cause ABC Time is one of the kids favorite classes, they always have so much fun playing games, speaking English, and just goofing around. It makes me sad to know that when I leave I might be taking my awesome fun classes with me.
