Tsukuba Monogatari: Nineteenth post
Key:
A: Arrive in Tsukuba; welcomed by ex-trainees; get car, company badge, e-mail account; take lots of pictures
B-C: The novelty wears off; you start getting tired of gyoza and yakisoba; you get tired of wearing your one week’s worth of clothes over and over; you work, you sleep, you’re married to your Mac; your trainees disappear
C-D: “Intensive Hell” – 6 intensive training sessions in 6 weeks
D: It’s getting cold; you have seafood pizza for Thanksgiving dinner; you start leaving your futon out on the floor 24 hours
D-E: People start realizing that you’ll be leaving soon and you get invited to dinner, farewell parties, bonenkais, and departmental trips. Things are looking up.
