im writing this from a computer at the hotel im staying in in tokyo. i cant find the apostrophe key. im here and safe, its about 6 am and ive been up since 4. i went for a walk earlier and found out the area. ive taken lots of pictures already but internet right now is too expensive to take time to upload them.
japan seems very nice so far. i like where we are in tokyo. its very clean.
Ashita means "Tomorrow" in Japanese. Because, tomorrow I'll be in Japan. I'm very excited!
Anyone who's looked here in the last couple days will see that I added my countdown timer to the sidebar - you can sit and watch it tick down to the very minute of my scheduled departure, if you like. And if you haven't been here in the last few days, look at it anyway. It's there.
I'm all packed at this point, ready to go. I've decided what I'm going to wear that will be comfy on the plane (10 hours ish, I think!), and filled up a ba with things to do and eat (the toys aren't food.)
Everyone share the link to here ( http://oberek.blogspot.com/ ) and pass it around, make sure everyone knows, because I'll do my best to keep up to date on this site with what I do throughout the course of my trip. So excited!
Today was my last day at Target. Most mondays, I work as a cashier from 12:15 to 5pm, and so it was today.
The whole time passed pretty well. It seemed busy for most of he day, which is fine with me because the time goes faster, and I don't like being bored.
As I went to clock out for the last time, everything was quiet. There was something beeping near the pharmacy, but I didn't pass many people. I watched the clock on the time punch machine as I sat, until it showed 5:00pm, and entered my employee number. At the end, it beeped a few times, at that was the end of it. No more going back in.
I had to see Rahul, our HR guy, to get paid out for the time I'd worked since my last check. He did a few things on the computer, and then I was even more officially done. No longer employed. However, everything had apparently been going too smoothly for the day. When he went in to do whatever it was in the system to tell it I'd get money, the servr wet down for maintenance. What fun. Aren't computers grand?
So I wandered the store for a little, saying goodbye to my friends, people I'd worked with for the last 6 months, until I was called back to the office and we finished everything.
I liked working at Target. I don't know if I want to go back, but the people were great, and everyone was very supportive.
Well, I guess that's it for being there though. I probably won't be seeing any of them again for over a month, likely longer. It's onwards and away for me, I'm flying away and when I come back, I'll find another job. Maybe it will pay better.
Mom gave me shots the other day, since I'm going a way. Tetanus and Menyngitis, or however you spell that. Whatever. It was two days ago though, and the tetanus one still hurts, even though its getting better. I don't like needles. :(
I'm trying out posting in different ways, so let's see if this one works, and what it looks like..
