Yay! Nate and Alfonzo said the company is taking some steps forward and that the raise they've said should be coming soon will start in July. Yay! I'll be making 2/3rds of what I was finally making in the US! (but actually with the current exchange rate of 82 yen per dollar, I'm making 4/5ths of what I was making in the US.) Whooooo

It was funny; at the beginning of the meeting, Nate was like, you know it's been hard, and the office is cramped, and blah blah blah for like 15 minutes, with everything pointing to the culmination of "so we're going to let you go," but I was like あれ？　this makes no sense given what Alfonzo has been saying! so I figured it was just Nate's style of speaking. but still it was weird!

Work is fun; I'm learning lots, and I essentially got finished tonight that which I hoped to do by tomorrow. Finished except that the view shifts uncomfortably in its seat while performing its task. Hmmm.
