Ami Lunchi

1:07pm JST Wednesday 30 May 2007 (day 13580)

Lunch with Ami today was short and sweet. Interesting how, while I was waiting for her, I got a phone call from my recent ex, making sure I knew that she was different, and Ami is all wrong for me, etc. I felt a tinge of question in my choice, but mostly just was thinking, oh my god; I can't believe you would call to tell me this. The phone call certainly confirmed my decision to break up.

Ami and I shared Roboyaki and then meandered around Roppongi Hills, chatting up and down escalators and riding the elevator semi-randomly looking for a quiet nook where we can just chat and kiss.

Holy shashins! I just found the tagging capability in Facebook! It's totally money!!

Hover mouse over picture and it shows names that people have added, or click on a name below the pic and it shows the person in the picture!!!

How not to apply for a job

3:04pm JST Wednesday 30 May 2007 (day 13580)

To: my friend Rob's boss
Cc: my friend Rob
Subject: Other Rob reporting in

Howdy!

My name is Rob Nugen; I'm a friend of Rob Wakulat via ultimate pick-up games on Sundays.  I
understand you are in the process of interviewing candidates for a position as a legal document
proofreader.

Though I have limited experience with reading legal documents, my years as a professional programmer
have given me an eye for detail, and I've been correcting various English compositions for students
in Japan for the last four years.

I can commit to a minimum of a year working full time, though I hate to say I cannot actually start
until August 20th.  I have recently purchased tickets for my first trip back home since I came to
Japan.  The trip will be July 18th - August 16th, so I could do ad-hoc work before that time, if
appropriate.

My resume, though geared toward computer programming, can be found online at http://robnugen.com/resume/

If you would like any further information, please feel free to ask.

     Regards
     - Rob

Oh shit!

To: my friend Rob

Rob!

Dude, you know what I just realized?  Because I had replied to your message in order to keep your
email address available in the To: field, I kept the same subject line.  I wonder how he'll respond
to that!

"Other Rob reporting in"  <---- winner for the most grammatical mistakes in the fewest words.

That's hilarious.  Please send him my regards, and perhaps a new subject line: "Please, sir, may I have a job?"

   - Rob!

Rob replied:

Hey Rob,

Nice - I like that first impression:  "I'm from Texas where we kick ass
and so I'm not even going to open with a subject line that is on topic
or grammatically correct, but you're going to hire me and like it,
dammit!" Heh heh.

I've already sent a note to Yoav, asking him to keep an eye out for you.
I can also swing an apology for the missed subject line in as well.  I
have to say though, I seem to be bad luck for anyone interested in
working here because they didn't even interview the last two guys I
tried recommending.  I'll be sure to put on deoderant next time I see
Yoav!

Good luck,
Rob

Holy shit! For a moment I posted this online!!!! My secret plans may have been viewed by anyone for those brief few moments.. It could be archived on Google!!! Fortunately, none of my family seems to be online. Shit shit shit gotta be careful!

Jesse's video, Rob in Pain

Jesse just sent me a video from last year, right after my shoulder surgery (<-- pics include blood) after my TJ Bike accident.
