Work

[obitied]

The section manager got on my case today about not wearing the 'proper' glasses to work. Sigh. I accidentily put on the orange ones, and he yelled at me in front of the entire office. It was mortifying. But Ohara-san gave me some really nice cookies when she brought e tea later, so I guess that sort of makes up for it

English tutour? I know a few.

[obitied]

Yeah? If you could pass along names or anything, that would be really awesome. :)

[violent_pulse]

Myself for example.

[obitied]

Well, sure. If you don't mind teaching an old guy like me. :)

[violent_pulse]

Old? One's never too old to learn. (Unless you're using a walking stick?) What's your Major, actually? I might be underqualified.

[obitied]

Haha, I'm only taking English at the university, I graduated from college a few years ago. But I want to move up at my job, so I needed to learn English. But if you know English, you're a step ahead of me. I can barely understand directions.

[violent_pulse]

Wow, see, that's a decision worthy of applause. I can help you then. Plus, if you work, chances are our schedules are more attuned.

[obitied]

Well, I don't want to be editing scripts forever. I'd like to write them.

But yeah, I pretty much live at work during the week, but I have free time on the weekends, usually.

[violent_pulse]

You're an editor? Ohmygodohmygod And a writer and--ooohhh, pffft, now I can't teach you without feeling jealous.

Aheh, I don't, coincidentally. Actually, I'm pretty much full during the week, but I have spots open, or spots that I CAN open, so you name a time when it's most convenient for you.

[obitied]

Yeah, I am. :) Don't feel too jealous, I mean, I haven't gotten that promotion just yet to writing. Editings really tough though, and I've learned a lot from it. If you ever need help, I'll see what I can do?

Hm. I have some free time on Tuesdays, sporadically. If we meet, we might have to make arrangements week by week--my job sometimes keeps me really late.

[violent_pulse]

It's just that, see, as an English Major, I've always been really interested in editing work. It's an option for when I look for a job.

Sure, that'll be fine, then.

[obitied]

Well hey, if you ever have any questions, let me know. Maybe I'll be able to put in a good word for you when you graduate.

[violent_pulse]

Oh--be still, my heart.
Alright, I think I better give you my email address before I start to get even sillier. [insertaddresshere]

[obitied]

Awesome. Mine's [insertaddressherelol].

Don't worry about being silly. I'm a pretty silly guy myself--Life's too short to be all that serious.
