Ya so my situation is a little f`ed but no big deal. I just heard from a friend who's girl...... get this.... went to work one day and was looking on a public share on the server for a file her boss was supposed to send her. She opened a folder that was filled with JPEGs. She opened the JPEG and was lucky enough to see a picture of her boss engaging in intercourse with 2 women. It was never confirmed either way if at least one of them was his wife. YES You read that right not only p0rn but p0rn with her boss in it in full BAMCHIKAWACHIKAWAWAOOOYAAAAA! I personally would have treated it like my new found piggy bank. As I imagine the same situation visions of FIGHT CLUB dance in my head. "Richard Chesler: Get the fuck out of here, you're fired!" "Narrator: I have a better solution. You keep me on the payroll as an outside consultant and in exchange for my salary, my job will be never to tell people these things that I know. I don't even have to come into the office, I can do this job from home." She was not so fortunate I heard. All she got was a 1000 yen or $10.00 a day raise. Shit... But the real point is that the guy didn't get fired, and after reading my last tail of woe... that friend called me to say that Mr Amatuer Porn star had been promoted to Director of XYZ.

REALLY　 There are allot of things that are a little difficult to deal with about Japan and especially working for a large company in Japan but this is really to much. I work with a bunch of skilled technicians and my bosses are not bad either. From time to time we have our differences but, we all have getting the job done and running a good service as a core principles. So it is easy to chalk any problems up as WORK. But there was one guy who had some problems and he would not show up to work from time to time (I haven't personally seen him in over 5 months.) and he would also not follow thru and finish his work, even the most simplest of tasks. He was initially on my team and when I arrived he was out "sick". Around the time I finished my 3 months probation and was told I was a full time employee I saw MR. S. for the first time. Then he spent a week reading his old mail that he had from his previous absence for about a WEEK. We worked on a couple of problems together and he made things worse by freaking out all the time and telling every one things that didn't matter and when a resolution was reached forgetting to tell everyone how it was resolved. It was a nightmare working with him. I tried to keep my frustration to myself cause it is really helpful to have a native Japanese speaker on my team.

So ya I am a geek I could have would have should have gone out tonight but I didn't Instead I created Hackergotchi. 1. Take a semi-homo erotic picture of your self, or just one you feel looks evil/cool/dark/or just happy. 2. Think of a way to enhance that image. I went for a 1/2 terminator look like Arnold. 3. find a image that suites your needs I recommend Google images. 4. Fire up the GIMP. 5. Select the area you want to add to your photo from your Google photo. 6. paste that into your image. 7. The fun part (cough spit) use the transform perspective and scale tools to get you the right shape and then the airbrush and eraser tools to blend it in. [1] 8.finally resize the image to 54 X 60 and your all set! [1] I didn't quite have the right angle so I spent about 30 minutes on step 7. IF I still used photoshop I belive you could cut that time in half.

YA I haven't posted anything in a while I been busy. Also if I haven't answered your e-mail in a while sorry here is a pic of what my in-box has looked like up till last Tuesday. Ya so after I cleaned all that out I went on a tour de force of all of the stuff that I have been meaning to write about. 1. Pictures Nothing could be more painful than a child's photo session Japanese style. 2. Happy no Cry Eric's bi-yearly school show that use to be a lot of pain has now become a lot of pain now has become a lot of fun. 3.Rugby I went to play to rugby with Tokyo Gaijin Rugby Club. 4. Ankle The results from my rugby game. 5. Japanese Test. I took a Japanese test last week and it was pretty dam tough. But all the stuff that goes with it made it a bit more fun.
