Every week should have a holiday in it!

I came to work for half a day on Monday even though it was a holiday. We were working on translating a big project that had to be done by today. At least my boss bought me lunch. Plus I might get to take half a day off later. I finished my part and they really didn’t give me anything else relating to that project to work on. So I went back to translating my good old manual friends. I had one other small assignment in the middle of the week but it didn’t take long to finish. I guess that means that we finished the project okay. I am excited that time is getting short. It has been fun to work here but I am missing home. Okay more like I am missing my girlfriend. Anyway just a few more weeks and I will be home. Hope everyone else is doing great.

Week 10

July 10 – 14, 2006
I’m translating more catalogs into English.

Another week bites the dust!

I spent two days visiting a customer site in Saitama and doing nothing. It was really nice to get out of the office. It would have been a little better if there was somewhere I could have taken a nap. It was pretty much like two days off with a 4 hour train ride. It was interesting enough just to see the facility. It was empty because they are just starting receiving. It was also really slow cause they didn’t receive that much while I was there. The rest of the week I have been working on translating part of a proposal into English which needs to be done by next Friday. It is a little more exciting than translating a manual because it has a deadline and is directly related to a sale.
I also went to Kyoto over the weekend. It was really fun. We didn’t have a lot of time down there because there was a traffic jam when we left and we spent like 2 hours eating lunch at Shakey’s. We ended up going to Kinkakuji and Kiyomizudera. All day the thunder was really cool and loud and it only rained when we were in the car. I also got to go to a Japanese rest stop. It was more like a mini shopping center. I guess it is more convenient that way. That is all for now.
