So far this week it has been one of the most boring weeks at work. My boss has been out of town for weeks and I have finished the work that I was supposed to be working on. The last two days there have not even been English speakers in the office (私はじょずではない日本語はなしる。) So I have not been doing anything at work except work on some personal things, yesterday I sent out resumes.
I was supposed to go to Osaka with a bunch of people this weekend but the person organizing it must have slept through marketing class. It was a horrible e-mail and everyone started to think that he didn’t want anyone to go with him, so now no one is going. Instead there is a trip that is being organized in いず, which is closer to ときょ, and we’re supposed to stay at a beach house. It is another long weekend as there is a holiday on Monday, and it is an overnight trip so I still have my extra day to work on my final project.
There is a presentation that I’m supposed to give on aggressive American negotiation. I guess because I’m an American I’m supposed to be an expert in this type of thing. The closest thing to aggressive negotiations involves Episode 2, which is not what I think they want me to show people. This all came about because my boss wanted to say something really rude to some of her counterparts, but wanted to make it sound more business like. So she calls me and asks me how to say this rude thing (“Do you think I’m a fucking idiot”) in a nicer way. The result must have been good, now I have this assignment.
