oloriel... time is passing way too fast. Three and a half weeks and I'll be half a world away. *hyperventilates*
I told the people at work about my impending disappearance. Pseudo-bosses moaned and whined, as expected. I suppose I should be flattered that they act like nothing gets done when I'm not there, but really I'm rather pissed off because it's a) their responsibility to see to it that stuff gets done, not mine; after all, they are the centurions, and I'm just a legionnaire, and b) stuff actually might get done if they weren't too busy making an hour's work last eight hours so they don't have to get up from their computer except for lunch and visits.
Department head was more helpful and took care that, rather than dropping out of my job when the year is over (I have only used five vacation days all year so I have 15 left, which last from December 3rd to 26th), I get two months of unpaid off-time and then return to the job in March. This is useful, as I suspect I will not randomly grow rich over the next three months.

vout, who didn't want to introduce her parents to her "real" journal when she was abroad, I have made a new journal where they can read along. Entries not fit for parental ears will be posted in this journal (that is, the one you're reading right now), but I don't intend to do cross-posts, so everyone who wants to know what I'm up to in far-away Japan may want to keep an eye on nakatsukuni (yes, you may laugh at me for the silly name).
I ought to find out whether my aunt Emmy is back in Tôkyô or still in California.
So much to do, so little time...
