IN vent.
I really hate Japan today. I lost something on a charter bus we rode yesterday with DH's team back from the airport (part of my wallet with some important cards,etc) and I am SO frustrated not being able to just call and handle this myself. I know when/where I lost it, I know it's ont he bus, but we've been waiting for like 4 horus for the team manager to call them, waiting on them to call him, etc. Should I cancel my shiit or not. FRIG.
Plus Xmas was fun but not Xmasy at all. Plus I want 'normal' food and not have to use critical thinking skills just to make a meal. Plus I resent never understanding anything or being understood. Today a woman at the store was asking me questions about V, I answered a couple that I have memorized (her age, her gender, where we are from) then when she went on I said in Japanese 'I don't speak Japanese' and she said in Japanese something like shiity foreigner. I was about to just be ashamed and walk away but instead I just said 'It's so obvious to me you've never left this annoying country or possibly this shiity town, a$$$hole.' The look on her face (totally still feeling really high on her horse) showed me she had no idea what I said, but Dave was totally mortified and told me I need to chill out. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Re: IN vent.
I'm sorry you're having a rough time. *hugs*
On the plus side, that is the cutest baby bottom I've ever seen.

I'm sorry! That's an awful day. Hope things look up soon!
Maybe you can email the MI DMV, explain the situation, and ask for the number? I assume that they probably don't give out the numbers like candy, but if you can fill out the form online, it can't be that far off to ask for the number, right?
Anyway, good luck and hope the day improves!
Can I just say, good for you for telling the woman off. I know that Dave was pretty pissed and I am sure my DH would have been the same when we were in Korea, but I have had days like that and I know how it feels. I usually just stare at them with daggers until they break the stare.
So sorry that this happened on Christmas and I do hope that something positive happens soon. Supper big hug to you.
Aw, L, I'm so sorry you have had a shiity past few days. It's the worst when it all builds up like that, especially around a holiday like this. I hope there is something you can do about your license so you can drive there again. Maybe someone back home can get the full number for you somehow' hopefully anyway.
Lots of hugs and don't feel bad about what you said to that woman. She was rude to start and you can only take so much before you have to crack a bit. I hope things start to turn around ASAP for you. How much longer are you there?
*hugs* I'm sorry you had such a rough day!
Can I just say that I just LOVE how this works. Its the same here.
"Oh, you've lost your DL? That's not a problem. Just give me your DL number and I'll order you a new one."
"Uh...I lost it....so I don't know it....which is why I need a new one..."
Sorry you've having such a rough time!

3 months tomorrow! Good lord. Don't even get me started on the fact that they want to start negotiating a new contract for next season with DH on Tuesday. I have a few conflicted feelings to be sure.
Thanks for your support ladies! I feel a million times better today, but I really did need to get this out!

Oh my, is here ally consideringanotheryearthere? I thoughtthis was supposed to be the last year abroad and thenyouwere going to try living back near oneofyourfamiliesfor a bit, did I make that up? you are a seriously brave woman to be considering another year there. Lots of vibes for you while you make the decision!
Standing ovation for EnidFalcor!
Seriously, that bizzo deserved it.
THIS. Seriously standing ovation for shutting the woman up.
I was missing Michigan on Christmas day as well but thankfully H speaks German and our holiday includes familiar foods and his family.
Are you guys negotiating a contract to stay there or go somewhere else? Have you guys talked again about the Canada versus Michigan situation and figured out when/if you 're getting more to the point where you want to settle down?
No, you did not make that up! That was tentatively the plan, but now it's just so hard to stick to that without other considerations because DH is having considerable sucess in a market where that is actually rewarded financially in a way that would make it hard for us to turn down. My dream/hope/wish is that somehow a team in Europe will offer something comparable...so at least I could have my dogs with me and be near my sis (she is in Norway now)....
