If I got one minute of sex from my 今日はそう言う気分じゃない　wife for every hour i worked, I would be a very satisfied man. Most of us work on Fridays, my man.

Drinks are on you tonight, kurogane

For that much attention, Yes, drinks are definitely on me.
Thanks for those. For the record, I am still at work, too. Just Bored, and waiting for the Friday night "meeting" (post-work drinking session)

BTW, that Tron guy is REEELLY F'ed up. I am frightened of the world. If he's that busy with a Tron outfit and the webpage, though, he's probably harmless

Yeah he is quite strange, but I actually kinda have respect for the guy, for doing his own thing and not caring wtf people think. Either that or he is just insane.

There is much worse out there. The great (sometimes not so great) thing about the internet is that it gives you an insight into peoples lives that you never had before.

[kurogane]

I'm with you on that. Kind of a far out dude, in his own far out way. Tron? Natsukashiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

That's it. I'm outta here. Have a good weekend

[Morning Star]

In for overtime again... At least at this job they pay me for overtime, none of that サービス残業 BS. The first time I got pressured to do service zangyou I just plucked at my forearm and said, "It's white, not yellow." My co-workers were like, 'Fcuking gaijin.'
My second job, I was a little more accepting of the "flex-paytime." They didn't count the time it took to update the schedule, clean up the work area, and perform the necessary maintenance it took to do the job.
Punch the clock, punch the boss, I'm outta here.

[kurogane]

Me making write fascinating paper on the meaning of heritage preservation in the high modernity of rural Japan. Can't go home yet. Brain numb, need beer.

Bai Bee. Having naisu weekendo, Asa Boshi Boyo.

[Bluedog]

Bluedog spending his friday nights writing a paper on...wait a sec... if I wrote that here, someone searching for my research might come up with my gaijinpot identity instead of my work. That would be bad bad bad.

Kurogane, if your paper is published and you tell someone to google for it, you might find that they end up here, transfixed by your furry knob. I'm not sure if my paranoia (exaggerated but not entirely nonexistant) is caused by too much of that grand blaster pot, or not enough, but either way I won't put a googlible description of my work here.

" I just plucked at my forearm and said, "It's white, not yellow." My co-workers were like, 'Fcuking gaijin.' "

Morning star, your posts have been very amusing lately. And cheers to you too Koizumi, even if you did bypass the chance of using a lion's mane for an avatar.

Speaking of which, can we please have a smiley face to include in our posts that looks like Bongo's spanky hippo?

[Morning Star]

Bluedog; Thanks for the encouragement. God has killed many kittens in your name.

There's something strange going on in this office. There's one guy who walks around with his necktie stuck in his pocket all day, every day. It drives me nuts to see him like that. Get a tie clip if you don't want the damned thing flying around.
It's also acceptable not to wear a tie here, so why wear one if you're going to stick it in your pocket and look like a fakking git!

[kurogane]

Bluedog,
Good point about the preservation of anonymity. A lesson learned. The rest of you, carry on this fine, fine work that we have been doing of late.

[Morning Star]

Well, everybodies still working so I'm sitting here looking very busy. Got errands to run tonight, too.
Well, I got to know the guy who sticks his tie in his pocket this last week. He says he does it to keep it out of the way. It's much easier for him to keep it stuffed than to have to stuff and unstuff it whenever he goes to the bathroom or eats lunch.

This morning we had an all hands meeting. Imagine, 2000 people gathered out on the tarmac listening to someone on the loudspeaker drone on about sales projections and market share. If I had a 1/5 of vodka at that moment I would've drained it in one gulp (8:30am mind you)

[kurogane]

Sticking your tie in your pocket seems to me to be almost as bad as someone who wears one of those pre-fab ties, with the ready knot, and the elastic neckband. Just not cricket, really, is it old chappie?

But, Its Friday man. Only a bit more and We Be Free. Have a good one. :)

[Morning Star]

I meant to post this last Friday, but was busy.
The guy with the tie problem was wearing a suit last week. He was wearing a suit jacket and he STILL was sticking his tie in his pocket, under the jacket. I could almost handle the excuse that it gets in the way, but when he's wearing a jacket buttoned up there's no excuse.

I need to have a little come to Jesus chat with this guy

[kurogane]

Office Geek 'Radication Procedure..............................commence in fifteen minutes.

Where's that damn Stillnosheep when you need him?

[Morning Star]

OMFG I just fell out of my seat.

Right after the closing bell today, some guy in a hardhat came around and announced, "People, please go home now. Spend time with your families and hobbies."

I asked my boss what that was all about and he said it was probably the roudoukumiai (labor union). I was incredulous. They have labour unions in Japan? I can see the workers fighting for that announcement during a union meeting.
"...but the bars and snacks don't even open until 7 o'clock."
"So let us tell them to spend time with their families and hobbies for the lonely bastards."
"Now... how do we phrase it so people don't think we're actually telling them to stay later?"
"By god, you're right...how about, 'Run for your lives!! They're openening up the firehoses and releasing the hounds!"
"Hmmm, sounds too much like a challenge."

[Morning Star]

I talked with the tie-in-pocket while wearing a jacket guy today. I just said, hey buddy, there's no reason for you to shove your tie in your pocket like that while you're wearing a suit, it won't get in the way.
He didn't even have to think about a response, "Oh, yeah, when I go to the bathroom I have to stick it in." To which I retorted and pantomimed, "No you don't, just lift up you jacket a little, unzip your pants and pull your _____ through this whole in your BVDs, like this."
"no, no," he said, "When I take a dump I have to take off my jacket first and then I stick my tie in my pocket." He said this with a queer sort of smile and that's when I realized, He loves the attention I'm giving him because of this. This guy is probably creaming himself at this very moment.
I'll try ignoring it from now on, but I don't think he'll stop.

Absolutely hilarious Morning star.

[kurogane]

Har dee har. Now, was that a queer sort of smile, or a "queer" sort of smile? I thought you were agreeable to driving on the other side of the road, MS?
:D

[Morning Star]

Firstly:
I just ran into tie-in-pocket guy. With that same queer smile he unzipped his jacket and showed me that he didn't put his tie in his pocket today. I lifted up my sweater for him, to reveal that I had forgotten to put on a belt this morning.
Sometimes you get the bear, and well...sometimes the bear gets you.

Agreeable to driving on the other side...
I couldn't have a relationship with a man.
I could rape someone like tie-in-pocket guy, but only if I'm choking him with his tie at the same time that I'm feeding him the pink torpedo. If that's what you mean by agreeable, then you're right, I'm agreeable to driving on the other side.

[Morning Star]

Almost drinky drink time. I helped a guy in another department with an English presentation he has to give next month, so he's taking me, my boss, and some other guy out for dinner and sloshing.

One more random non-event from work this week. This one 巨乳ちゃん I work with managed to burn a fahkin potato in the microwave yesterday. Everybody that walked into the kitchen where I was heating up my food were like, "Hey, wtf is that smell, redneck cracker?" 5 minutes later 巨乳ちゃん walks in and says, "wow, my burned potato still stinks."
Me <-- Incredulous. "How you gonna burn a potato in the microwave?"
Her <-- Bobbling head and giggling. "Hee hee hee."

[kurogane]

I' d like to burn my nagaimo between her love spuds.

And Yes, Thank God and all other sadists, it is almost drinky time. I just four F'in hours wrestling with the most ridiculously complicated piece of paperwork I have seen yet in this anachronistic labyrinth. Don't these people use the very technology they are so bloody famous for making?

Have a good weekend. Stay away from those stocking lipped hookers.

[Morning Star]

The last 2 weeks has plodded along and I'm almost out of the Netherlands. Before leaving we managed to schedule two more trips back here in December and April.

This Friday I must say that travelling with Japanese is like making out with my sister. It's terribly tiring and awkward, and when it's over I'll decide whether or not life is worth living. (j/k) Seriously though, they complain the whole time about how there's nothing to do here, there's no conbinis, nothing is open all-night, no sunaku, no karaoke, no Japanese food. The things they might actually enjoy; pubbing, smoking hash, etc,... are culturally repulsive to them.

So they're content to do the exact same thing day after day. The weekend is a battle of dousuru kana... nanimonai kokoha... tsumaranaitokoro desune...doushiyou... I pushed them to visit a local pub, and although they should have had some fun parlaying with the locals, they refuse to go back... pry cuz the gaijins outnumber them.

It's exhausting... even though the midori-chan keeps me in good spirits, I'm looking forward to going back to Japan.

tots

[Morning Star]

It looks like I've jacked this Omega Man thread as my personal blog.

Finally got back to Japan two days ago and have been working in a jetlagged haze since then. The thing that sucks is even though you're out of the office on a business trip doing work, jobs keep piling up back home.

Well the thing that drove me nuts this week was an episode at the post office. I was trying to cash money orders (this is after my mom sends a check, but it costs too much to convert a check and I'm no where near a branch office for my bank, I cancel the check, she sends a domestic money order that doesn't work here, I send it back, she sends and International money order and I appear at the post office).
There are four seperate money orders that I turn in to the cashier. She gives it back and says I have to write my full address, name and signature on each one.
"Can you write two while I'm writing the other two?"
"muzukashii blahblahblah"
Finished. I wait while she's processing them.
She motions me back to the window and shows me a bunch of Japanese writing with one English sentence in the middle. It says something like this:
--According to Article 3 of the law 'Do not contain any received of the intended purpose of money for illegitimate use'--
"Please write this on the back of each money order."
"wtf does it mean?" says me
"This is to stop foreign funds from coming into Japan for the purpose of money laundering."
"Jesus Christ, you're going to stop money laundering by making me write this dribble on the back of each of these money orders?"
"You can write it in English or Japanese." They can smell gaijin trouble a mile away.
"There is no reason for this and it is meaningless, do you have a stamp with this written on it?"
"If you don't write it, you don't get your money. Would you like that instead?"

"...Can you help me write it?"

[kurogane]

They have a tendency to run amok with automatic weapons, shooting customers and co-workers.
Oops, sorry, wrong postal service.

Anyways, sounds like the Netherlands was just that. I can sympathise. I try to avoid travellling with Japanese with whom I do not have sexual communion whenever possible.
Any good stocking lipped hookers in Amsterdam?? ;)

[Mononoke_hime]

Who's Omega Man?

Why this obsession with the man with his tie in his pocket?

Can I film the rape+gag scene MS will be performing?

[Morning Star]

Kuro- Didn't go to Amsterdam. Stayed the whole time in inaka. Even if I did go, I probably wouldn't frolic in the red light district. --women sitting in windows looking bored waiting for guys to f@ck them.

monohimedoke - I'm ADD and OCD, so sometimes I focus on things that might seem inane to normal people. As for the rape and gag scene, it depends on how much money is involved in the filming.

[kurogane]

Have a good weekend all.
Are you back in Japan now, MS? Welcome home.

[Morning Star]

Sorry I didn't post on Friday, but there was really nothing out of the ordinary last week. Just work piling up and me working crazy OT with no chance to party on Friday because I had to wake up at 7:00am on Saturday and Sunday to do 8 weddings. Friends came in from Saitama and Fukushima and I had to have my g/f entertain them while I was working.
Going back to Holland in two weeks, but should be back by Christmas time.

You were in Okinawa or something doing 'research', yes? Hey where did Sincity go? I think he switched accounts and now he's that Throw me a friggin bone guy... Soap2? Sora2?

[Morning Star]

Getting revved up for the bonnenkais this month. I grabbed a ヨン様 wig, glasses and scarf. I've been drinking every night to get my alcohol tolerance peaked out and have learned 4 new enkas to wow the coworkers with.
This Friday a GM invited me to a nurse konpa. 7 salary-men and 7 nurses. It's been my experience that nurses have a distorted and perverse view of reality. I'll fill you in on the details next Monday.
After that I've got 2 more work bonnenkais and 1 friends bonnenkai. This should be a month to make Dionisis proud...
Oh, and Big Baby Jesus.

[sincity]

This Friday a GM invited me to a nurse konpa. 7 salary-men and 7 nurses. It's been my experience that nurses have a distorted and perverse view of reality. I'll fill you in on the details next Monday.

Yes, it's true and completely understandable when you consider how many times a nurse must witness a man abusing himself on the night shift or do a 立ちバック with the rascally Dr. Tanaka (the married _______) in the storeroom. And no, I'm not projecting my own fantasies here...One of my ex-gfs was a nurse and she never held out on me for anything. When I said that I was gonna pump her up the ___ as punishment for fornicating with the good doctor, she offered to get the jelly from the hospital. Very practical woman. If I knew then what I know now, I would've married her.

So do tell about the konpa. Don't let me down.

[kurogane]

I also await the report with baited breath, and a "I gots a GF" sort of attraction to vicarious thrills. SHe does have a very skimpy Santa suit, though. Happy Happy Christmas, Native Heathen style.
PS Where did that koizumi boy get to? Busy with national politics or some such lame excuse, probably.

So here it is, Thursday, I have finished this job, am officially unemployed, am really looking forward to the next little while, running up my post count to a level heretofore unimagined in the annales of GaijinPoop, and maybe even going outside once or twice a week, and what do I find?

The "New Posts: Quick" thingy reads like a Kurogane takes on Master Bates and sprays him all over the screen Fest, and I am Soooooooo Feckkkkkkinnnnnnnn Board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the nearest Hello Work office, eku?

i recommend a goood furlong of R and R at my favorite drinking hole in kyoto...
personally when i get over my accident crap stuff
we plan on visiting and flaunting our sexuality until my favorite master-san kicks us out and tells us to get a hotel hehe
maybe you and y-ko can come and we can see who gets kicked out first. :D

Cool. BTW, I missed all the accident crap. What happened? I guess I was away on fieldwork.
You alright?

As for Master X, yes; his curiosity is piqued about the "extent" of the Kurogane - Y-ko connection, but we are both playing coy. When I go alone, if he's had a few, I get a real grilling. Good fun.

[eku]

dun grill too much... :o
be careful of master X... he asked me to take part in a panel discussion for doctors without borders...
the press was there,,, lotsa ppl were there and then he asked me the reason i took a side trip to malawi...
(well the malawi thingie was something we had spoke about one drunken evening in the forest after like 2 bottles of uzo and a three day party under our belt...)

i tried to wriggle out of it but he just kept pushing until i admitted it was, of course, with the intent of smoking as much malawi cob in the short period of 2 weeks :D

he then got all the japanese doctors to admit they had all smoked dope in africa... hehehehehehehe

the accident... was rearended while waiting to pay at the ryoukinsyou of the wangansen... nicely the other guy is 100% responsible... sadly i have pain and my GLORIAous pimpmobile is fecked... sigh... i have to drive a rental premio... not too painful, but it aint no ya-sya

[kurogane]

Now I know what Charlton Heston felt like in that movie, Omega Man (yeah, okay, so it was a remake of The Last Man on Earth, but it was better than that torpid piece of thirties silliness).

Where are all you people?

I'm trying to run up a post count here, fer chrissakes, and I gotta go skiing tomorrow.

Right. What's all this, then?
harumphharumph
I gotta peel myself outta the bed, and get my ___ to the office where I will spend another afternoon trying and failing to master the intricacies of Adobe Illustrator CS2 with no manual.

The ADD is running rampant such that I am hearing voices.

The all meat diet seems to be working it's magic, and I expect to be beach worthy in about another 2 weeks.

WTH? Am I blogging now, too?
Screw it, I am gonna post my ___ off here, today.

[canadamanada]

Know what I hate, Omega Man?
Wind. I hate the stuff. I wish for a world without wind and I am prepared to deal with the environmental fallout that would result.
No, I wasn't one of those retarded kids who was afraid of the wind. I just hate it. My uncle was one of those retards, though. He had to be hypnotised into giving it up. Would sit there and bounce the side if his head off that wall endlessly on a windy day. The man run's the Canadian Coast Guard's IT dept for Chrissakes!
Gotta go to YahooBB to get internet for my cafe. Hope the little hottie is there. Wunder if she got wun uh them men thingies.

[canadamanada]

Wow. Got sidetracked having a few goes at THRUSTER and okkii69 who is now claiming to be white, and not black. Messed up. Aaw, now my blood pressure's up. Gonna need beer soon. Right.... YahooBB
I promise I will only do this post-count padding rant today. I really promise.

[canadamanada]

Well, the hottie I was hoping for at YahooBB was off today. Just my luck. Guess I will have to find something else to fill my thoughts tonight!
What's a good approach for picking up a girl who works at the YahooBB offoce?

Funny, there's a cutie at the Kyoto Yahoo BB office too.

Imagine that, two cute girls that work for the same company in two totally different parts of the country.

The mind boogles.

Too bad I'm never going back, Jack.

Her teeth were a bit, umm, Not Yahoo.

[stillnosheep]

Funny, there's a cutie at the Kyoto Yahoo BB office too.I remember her. Always trying to interest me in her Broadband. Now if it had been her narrower channel...

[kurogane]

I remember her. Always trying to interest me in her Broadband. Now if it had been her narrower channel...

I fifgured she was popular amongst Our Crowd. Really, the only one with any talent in that office.

But, yeah, I'm sure a bit of dial up would be alright.

How's China?

Always raining, nothing works, everything is filthy dirty, what isn't chained down gets stolen and everybody ignores the rules. A bit like Manchester really...

Ala Pulp Fiction ? Get the gimp Nosferatu. Jacques had his moments though--he could write a bitterly ascerbic but biting post that sometimes did hit home. Agreed though, most of the time, he conveyed a sense of nastiness. I couldn't help but think that it was just bitterness at being whitey in Japan though.
