THANKS GOD. THANKS. THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY, GOD.

IT'S THE GAY STUFF, ISN'T IT? OKAY, FINE. NO MORE FOR ME THEN IF THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY YOUR GAME. HETHETHETHETHETHETHETHETHET FOR ME FROM NOW ON. TUTIKO AND NAGAYAN OTP. OR TUTI AND NAGAKO OTP. WHATEVER.

SO LONG AS IT PREVENTS WHAT JUST TRANSPIRED FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN.

I woke from a deep slumber not 15 minutes ago to the sound of our phone ringing. No one was picking it up for a few rings, and then my mom did, and walked into my room with this weird look on her face, confusion kind of, and handed it to me. I answer with my perkiest "I so did not just sit up from sleeping" hello, and get:

"Moshi moshi? Courtney-san desu ka?"

I was thrown for a moment because a) She sounded like kooriyoukai whose customary greeing is a nice moshimoshi, and b) IT WAS JAPANESE. I JUST WOKE UP. DON'T DO THAT TO ME.

I then proceeded to have my first all-Japanese phone call. WHEE. JUST WHAT I WANTED TO DO 3 SECONDS AFTER WAKING UP.

Turns out she was calling to not only get more info on me for an INTERPRETING JOB I APPLIED FOR ONLINE but also to, you know, make sure I spoke the language. Everything was actually going great, she was speaking quite simple but perfect Japanese, and I was replying in kind, and we were having a grand old time discussing how old I was, my study background, etc, when she uttered the killing words...

"Kono shigoto wa...one-year contract nan desu kedo..."

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

"Sotsugyou shitara mata renraku kudasai ne!" (Please contact us again after you've graduated!)

Yes. That's right. I could have had a NICE CUSHY INTERPRETING JOB. IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL IN AUGUST.

NOT FUNNY GOD. NOT FUNNY AT ALL. I'm sure you're having a BARREL of laughs up there because YOU aren't looking at a trip to the local B&N for an application, but this is NOT what I had in mind when I sent up that silent prayer last night that something would show up this morning for a Japanese job.

WAY TO GO, MAKER.

＞＿＜ D'oh.

Gah, that sucks. That sucks so very much. ...but at least she didn't say, "SO NEVER CONTACT US AGAIN, WAHAHAHAHA!!!" ...I mean, she wants you to reapply after you've graduated, so at least you can go for the cushy interpreting job again after school is done. Right?

But yeah, God, The Universe, whatever you want to call her/him/it...has a WICKED sense of humor. - -;

sorry
