IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm boooooooooooooooooorrrred.
I swear, during the weeks that I'm running like a maniac to different schools every day I DREAM of this downtime at my desk at city hall. When the day of rest finally arrives, I relish my freedom for approximately 37 minutes, gleefully checking emails and recent news.
It's minute 38 where my eyes start to glaze over, and the kerosene heat waves begin to permeate and slowly melt my brain. No amount of coffee or tea can bring me out of this coma. I take frequent trips to the icy cold bathroom to rid myself of the nose water which still pours from my head in obnoxiously copious amounts, but these jolts of freezing air only make the dizzying heat of the office worse when I return.
My only hope for revival is those occasional bursts of harassment from Crazy Old Guy, the bossman of the department next to mine who likes to ask random and insane questions about America, and lecture me on the awfulness of the English education system in Japan in crazy fast and colloquial old man Japanese. I saw him leave the office this morning wearing a helmet, so I can only assume that he's out fighting bears or saving avalanche victims or something, and I am left alone in my stupor.

you gotta watch out for the bears, they will kill you, no joke man. I saw it on the Colbert Report, and he's up to his eyelids in truth. You should make things out of construction paper, that's what i use my free time for. Or read JETFuel.
colbert doesn’t even know. you have no IDEA of the bear threat until you’ve lived in Ono. old women getting mauled in the streets.
read JETFuel:done. hang on, did you hear of, and are you mocking my lifelong and obsessive love of construction paper (see:JETFuel cover), or do you really like it too?
i love construction paper, i spent most of my day today making the march english bulleting board (i.e. cutting and pasting construction paper)
oh my God......someone else is obsessed with C-paper besides you? I didn't think (outside of the first grade paste eaters) there were other people like you. You know you still have a whole drawer full of the stuff in your bedroom.
Maybe it's time for a third edition - Japanese version - of a Sammy book to use up some of that paper.
Mom
stay away from the bears
Hey, Crazy Old Guy didn't steal Mayumi's helmet did he?
Haha-san
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Construction paper, JET Fuel, and crazy old men wearing helmets. Come to Shelton, the crazy old guys just walk around holding their heads sideways and yelling at the traffic AKA your Mom's boyfriend.
Everytime we get our hopes up that a certain individual is retiring, he signs up for another conference. Guess we have to get the last of our FREE vacations at a cost to the taxpayers.
Love,
