Kibou

That last rant was so poorly composed... I apologize. That happens when I try to force posts, it just ends up like that: random, inconsistent, and hard to understand. So tonight's rant will be replaced with a ramble.

Work today was alright, there were a few awkward customers though. For starters Howard came in, and did the usual re-arranging of the furniture, cleaning of various areas of the store,and bizarre indecipherable rambling to god or Jesus or whoever. And to make that more awkward, this guy walked up to me today and asked me about him. I was explaining that he was harmless, not to worry about him, he's just 'talking to god', and the guy was like 'oh good, so he's found Jesus then? Even the unfortunate need his salvation don't they.' And there are people standing behind him in line. And I'm like... uhh.... What am I supposed to be saying here? And then he said 'It's times like these where I wish I had his healing powers, you know? Wouldn't it be great to be able to heal with faith?' (At this point he stretches out his hands around my head, 'healing' me I suppose). And the people behind him in line are looking back and forth from him to me. My response? A quick 'what can I get for you?' to the person behind him. Good shift though, good people to work with.

This room is unbelieveably cold. Even my bizarre excess body heat isn't enough to keep me from feeling it. I wonder how my sister, the one allergic to the cold, manages to live in it.

I wrote out a list of all the kanji I don't remember well from this textbook so far... and it had around 250 characters in it. And I actually think that's not bad considering how many we've learned. But obviously I have some hardcore reviewing to do.
